Hello all.
- HRT (sequin patches) for 3 years. Testosterone for 6 months.
Had to see the nurse as I had been suffering mad, crazy itching for 8 weeks. She said I was raw, it wasn't LS but the skin was looking that way in places. Had to stop using soap/shower gel - used by whole life- and use dermol for showering and eumovate 2x per day. After 2 weeks, she said all looked good and prescribed estriol (daily for 2 weeks and then 2x per week).
I also had to have a cystoscopy and a colonoscopy in the time.
I'm so sore. Especially my perineum. Multiple grown kids (so multiple tears/stitches and an episiotomy re-do 20 years ago).
I used the estriol around the vulva rather than using the syringe. It's my perineum, though. It feels so sore, I flamed, swollen and after DTD it hurts to even cough.
The nurse said to use a really thick emollient. I've not tried that yet.
Any ideas? Is it something I'm using that's making it worse?
Jeeeeeez, this is the gift that keeps on giving, hey?!
