Hormone Replacement starting at 75yrs old

I went from severe vaginal atrophy, including bladder discomfort, to having a perfectly normal vaginal area. It made everything so much better, including intimacy. That aside, no more burning, stinging, etc. there’s no reason to worry about estradiol. It’s locally applied and isn’t systemic. I’ll take it from now on.

thank you for sharing

I thought I was fine vaginally, as I didn’t notice any problems and my libido never dimmed, but I requested Estradiol after reading about bladder and pelvic problems. It was quickly evident that it made a big difference. I felt like myself again. I had forgotten what I was like. I resumed intimacy with an old boyfriend who I dated when in my 30s and 40s. He said there was no difference. It was great. No lubricating gel needed. It gives me more confidence and I’m hoping it helps with the bladder too. It just feels healthier.
