Yes pls forward links. Much appreciate.
After deciding not to use estrogen cream and being in pain from splits in the labia, I went to a GYN that recommended organic coconut oil applied externally only. I have used that for years now and no longer have discomfort. At all. However, I have not had sexual intercourse for many years so I can’t speak to that. I am 76. I had a vaginal hysterectomy at 42 and never could have intercourse again due to the pain. No doctors had an answer for me at the time so I gave up. The last doctor shrugged and said, “use it or lose it.” Ugh.
I would love those links!
I am very interested in a vaginal moisturiser.
I am in a high risk category for cancer in females thank-you
I’d love to have those links too. Thanks!
Hi, I am new to this group and will be finishing chemo soon and will be having radiology in about a month. I also saw a note in my files that I had vaginal atrophy. but no one talked to me about it and I have been too sick from the chemo side effects to research. @Helen, can I ask you to share the products you mentioned in you post? Thank you so much,
Sue
