Vaginal atrophy

Worth a try as it can’t hurt you. Works for me, although I also use estrogen cream twice a week.

I have used VagiFem for more than 20 years. It works, though expensive.

That’s the beauty of coconut oil is that it’s cheap and works. And, nice on your hands or face, too.

It is not necessarily noncomedogenic. Neutrogena foot cream works, too.

It has been used for centuries on skin and hair. I have not noticed any issue with pores. It improves both. I am allergic to so many things. I can put coconut oil around my eyes and on my vagina, my two most sensitive areas. I am 76.

Has anyone heard of or used olive oil instead of coconut oil? I’m sensitive to coconut oil. I was just prescribed estrogen cream but not sure if I want to use it
I’ve had a burning sensation for 14 days and I’m desperate for relief

I love the estrogen cream. It just makes me feel healthier. I wasn’t doing terrible before I started using it, but I’m still glad I tried it. I haven’t tried the oils yet. I’m not sure I need the oil, but I want to be proactive and stay supple.

Hormones make all of us feel good. I loved the hormone pills I was given after my hysterectomy, called them my “fountain of youth pill.” It was not fun getting off of them, but I was told that they can cause cancer and that I should stop hormones. I stopped and today I feel great without them. Coconut oil doesn’t cause cancer. That’s why I use coconut oil instead of hormones. I hope this helps.

My understanding of estrogen cream is that it doesn’t enter bloodstream the way oral estrogen does and is therefore not a cancer risk. Several doctors have confirmed this.
I hope they are correct because I use it every other day- alternating with coconut oul.

I need to research this more, but the comments from the female urologists I have heard online stressed that the lack of local estrogen also causes problems with the bladder and other pelvic structures. I need to search for more published studies on it. So preventative care is a goal for me.
