I’m not menopausal however I have vaginal dryness. Lube helps but friction during sex is still painful. I also use a hormone free vaginal moisturiser but it’s still not enough. I have seen a pelvic floor therapist to help relax muscles / tension which definitely helped but still getting friction pain during sex.
After doing some research I don’t think topical estrogen will raise my systemic levels, so shouldn’t be a high risk.
The only topical that is OTC is ‘Ovesse’ but online pharmacies still expect you to be over 50 and not had a period in 12 months.
is it bad if I just lie on the form to get it?
I know common sense would be to see a Dr but I can’t go private and it seems impossible for me to get a GP appointment in my area. I can’t stress this enough so don’t want to wait around. (When I had recurrent UTI’s and bloody urine the same colour of red wine all I got was telephone appointment from 111 still not offered appointment by my actual GP clinic despite chasing)
