AIBU to wish I had known sooner about vaginal oestrogen cream?

I am nearer 60 than 50 and have had lots of UTIs and vaginal dryness for ages. Peeing stinged, wiping was sometimes painful. I have been on HRT for about 10 years. Mentioned it in passing to GP who gave me cream in an applicator and you must know about it! Within 2 weeks I was so much better and comfortable. I hadn’t realised how uncomfortable it was.

The cream has the advantage that you can rub it over your vulva which also benefits from extra oestrogen. The concentrated oestriol is not that messy as just about 0.5g/ time
