Hormone vaginal meds?

Posted by frogjumper @frogjumper, Jun 21, 2023

So, I am very strong staining ER/PR + HER2 negative breast cancer. Stage 1 Grade 1 chose to not use hormones and radiation and had a lumpectomy alone as treatment.
For years before my diagnosis in November I used Vagifem and had no problems. Was told I had to quit using it so I did and since January I have had 2 UTI's and now off and on burning and itching. I believe my vagina is screaming it's unhappy. I've OTC tried Hyaluronic acid, and Vitamin E suppositories, and silicone lubricant and so far none have worked like Vagifem.
So my question is I know Vagifem has a breast cancer link but what about Premarin or Estring or some of the other RX meds.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am curious to know if any of you ladies who had a lumpectomy post DCIS have any recurrence on the same breast or any DCIS on the other breast? I am thinking about taking HRT again after stopping for 8 months and not feeling good. I would stay at a low dosage to take the edge off. Anyone is a few years post DCIS?
Thank you for your input.
