Oestrogen and constipation

1 reply

I've started on vaginal oestrogen to deal with post menopause symptoms. My GP explained that minimal oestrogen gets into the blood stream, these are really safe and to be fair, some of my previous symptoms (vaginal dryness, tendency to uti) have improved a lot.
But I'm constipated. Is this a side effect? I really don't want to stop the pessaries but I feel a bit like I've exchanged one lot of symptoms for another.
Thanks

I use these too and as far as I'm aware it's not a side effect, probably just an unfortunate coincidence although everyone is different.
