Thank you for the insight. I have an appt with my obgyn oncologist coming up & will ask about it! Do you know the names of the creams?

No, sorry. But I'm thinking that the estrogen-based topical cream might be one. I was never informed about what to expect after radiation, and was thus never told how to manage the symptoms. Whatever you do don't put morphine on the area--it stings like h#ll. A stupid recommendation by a nurse. Another stupid recommendation is KY jelly.

No I don't. Sorry

@andwho If you are referring to vaginal moisturizers then I can recommend Good and Clean Bionourish with hyaluronic acid. I use this externally in the vulva area and internally when I insert the Hyalo suppositories I've referenced below.

Good and Clean:

I also use Hyalo Vaginal Suppositories twice weekly.

I had endometrial cancer and cannot use any estrogen products so these are what was recommended by my radiation oncologist after radiation therapy.

I'm curious what your Gyn-Oncologist recommends. Will you come back and let me know?
