Oestrogen pessaries

I’ve used Vagifem too for years, great results, however last prescription has changed applicators, before a fresh applicator with each tablet, now only a couple of applicators, which after use have to be washed!! We all know how prone we are to UTI’s as we get older, so I was happy to use sterile applicator each time, I’m now paranoid about whether I’m getting them clean enough or not, ye gods it’s bad enough having to use them without possibly infecting myself with who knows what!

Give them a try! Nothing to lose. If they don’t seem to “do the trick “ ask for something similar in a cream formula. As others have reassured you, you’ll feel so much better & can carry on the regime for the rest of your life without any issues.

I have used them twice a week for 5 years and they completely cured regularly occurring UTIs. No drawbacks at all.

I've used Vagifem for many years.
My prescription calls it Estradiol which seems to be a slightly different hormone from oestrogen.
The benefits are mainly moisturising of the vagina - reduced risk of UTIs and easier marital rels.

Yes I was prescribed them early last week for the same symptoms. No problems at all. I would scratch myself raw sometimes and it was almost impossible to stop.

I finished the menopause years ago I thought but apparently I was wrong! I'm 59.

I use vagifem. I would hate to stop as it has relieved my symptoms almost completely.

What are your concerns?
