Oestrogen pessaries

I’m on the bagged pessaries 2x a week but they aren’t relieving all my symptoms.

im going to the doc to discuss but want to know if it is recommended to up the dose? My GP isn’t great for menopause so I want to be prepared.

thanks in advance.

thats what they told me. I don’t know why. I’m over 55 and definitely menopausal.

I have had an initial physio appt and am doing exercises whilst I wait to be seen properly as I said.

I think you need another GP- what they have said is nonsense and NICE has a guide from 10 years ago saying do not offer blood tests to women over 45.
