I have suffered with this for years! In the beginning I was prescribed a vaginal estrogen cream, I cant remember the actual name. After some months there was no real improvement. It was that bad I couldnt wear knickers or even sit down! my doctor contacted the hospital for an appointment to see a gynea consultant. I first had to go to have an intenal scan then on to the consultant. He told me that the estrogen cream had actually been feeding the lining of my womb and it was very thick, he took a small scraping from inside my womb to send for testing as he said theres a possibility its cancerous!! He also said I needed an operation to clean my womb out. The tests came back clear and I had the operation. I was told not to use the cream any more as it can cause cancer.
I was then prescribed replens which does help ease the symptoms.
Some months ago the surgery rang me to say Replens is no longer available on prescription so it was replaced with Yes then Sylk. Neither were any good as they were both too runny and didnt stick to the walls of my vagina. I explained this to my doctor and he has agreed to put Replens back on my repeat prescription.
