Thank you, thank you for your kind and informative response. I am so relieved to hear you are doing well.
I have an appointment with a nephrologist in 2 weeks to check my kidneys because I had crystals in the urine which could be a breakdown of a kidney stone and this was the first UTI in the last 3 years. So I filled the prescription for the estriadol and I will go to the kidney doctor first and then Iwill give it a few months to see if another UTI occurs and maybe instead of 2 treatments a week just do 1. See how it goes. If you don't mind me asking. How many applications of the estriadol do you apply each week?
Have you experienced any breast pain or elevated blood pressure and/or weight gain? I just lost 10 pounds. Don't want to gain it back.
Thank you again for responding to my post.
Take care.

Hi... I use the estrogen cream twice a week. I want to mention that using the cream is supposed to create a healthier, stronger, vaginal wall. Maybe that would help with the painful intercourse? I absolutely have no breast pain or elevated blood pressure. Can't talk to weight gain... I have had three surgeries in three months, two of which were colon related. I lost 10 pounds, but in the last couple weeks, I have gained 5 back. I truly don't believe the cream had anything to do with my weight, because during the colon crisis, I was on a strict low fiber diet for 8 weeks. I had a few weeks of broth and jello during that time, which caused the 10 weight loss, not the cream.
