Vaginal Atrophy

Posted by leeosteo @leeosteo, Sep 24, 2023

Is anyone experiencing vaginal atrophy post menopause? Are you taking vaginal estrogen (or other forms of estrogen) for this an associated symptoms (dryness, urine frequency, etc.)?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

@leeosteo There are some good and quite lengthy discussions where you can get information about your question:

Vaginal Atrophy in Women’s Health Support Group:

The second discussion is very active and I think you will find lots of good information there.

I am postmenopausal and beyond the age of 60 so I can't use estrogen to help with vaginal dryness and atrophy. Also, I can't hold onto an estrogen ring so that doesn't offer a viable solution. Estrogen cream 2 times a week is not sufficient in my case. Does taking DHEA help other women with this issue. Are there other options? Minnette
