Ladies: How are you managing vaginal atrophy as you age?

I agree with you and also want to add that using this low dose of estrogen is effective in preventing UTIs. I have been using the low dose vaginal cream for 6 years now..applying twice a week after removing a pessary that I have used for four years. I use a compounding pharmacy close by for the estrogen because it is cheaper. I am 83, no UTIs, no problems generally so will continue with this routine on the advice of my OBY/GYN nurse practitioner.

If you had UTIs and now don’t, that’s fantastic. I don’t have UTIs. I have been a BIG water drinker since the 1980s. I have it with me everywhere I go. Ever since then I haven’t had a UTI.
