Hi
I am glad I found this post. So I just finished dcis breast cancer surgery and radiation I have been coping with bladder issues for one year my oncologist just put me on vagifem. I have a new GP which I see April 15th I'm asking for an internal because the pressure I feel inside is driving me crazy no one has done an internal on me in over 2 years .I don't know if I have vaginal dryness if my bladder is prolapsed or what's going on but I feel like I'm going crazy some days it's so uncomfortable. If you have vaginal dryness does it feel like it's burning inside because some days that's what I feel and I didn't know if I should use also a moisturizer with the vagifem. My oncologist just increased me to use it every night. Does anyone else use it every night. I was using it every 3 days. I have recently seen a urologist and had a cystoscope where everything looked normal. I do utiva cranberry supplements and d-mannose it has helped decrease the bladder infections. Just frustrated 😠

sue417,
I use estrogen cream and alternate it with coconut oil. I also had pelvic floor PT as I was diagnosed with pelvic floor prolapse. Both effective.

I’ve had burning sensation for three weeks. All came on after intercourse. I had a pelvic exam a few days ago and she thinks its just atrophy so prescribed estradiol cream
But last night I felt a bulge and now thinking it might be prolapse. Though my gyno didn’t see that. Please let me know what your dr says after your April 15 appt
Hope you can soon get the relief you need
