Hi I have started to take HRT in tablet form however it is not helping my vaginal symptoms. Does anyone know is you can also be prescribed a pessary as well as tablets? My GP took a lot of persuading for the tablets so just asking before I approach him. Regards Ruby

I'm on something called Estradiol a Vaginal pessary everyday for 2 weeks then twice a week for life
Gp said that the risk of cancer is so very minimal compared to patches and tablets
My GP prescribed it as the vaginal dryness was the main symptom for me and the worst . It was like pissing wasps from the vagina
It's sooooooooo much better now and been about 3 months to be effective
When I miss a dose by a few days I really notice it

Is it Vagifem that you use or some other brand? Yeah I suffer mainly with dryness aswell and that's been my main concern for a long time really.
