Women have to go through so much as women it's really unfair hate being a woman sometimes men don't have a glue how we suffer and in so much awful pain and how we are effected mentally as well

This was the best description of vaginismus I’ve heard.

The HRT study that showed increase in heart attack, breast cancer is now said to have been a flawed study after several decades 🙄🙄🙄 I don’t know the details of the flaw. If this atrophic vaginitis isn’t relieved by estrogen cream I’m going to take HRT. This is too painful just to take a shower. Recurrent UTIs taken too much time out of my life. 😡

[ypulse]

I am having problems and found all the information very helpful. Thank you.

I have been to three doctors about this problem and not one of them has an answer they were all very nervous and put it off

The drop in Estrogen also affects the ability to have climax. Add that to painful sex (Dyspareunia), and why have sex?

[echase]

The ESTROGEN PATCH helps. So does the DHEA vaginal insert.

Take up body building. Stop laying around all mushy. Body isnt supposed to be mushy. Progressive resistance helped my neighbor reclaim her sex life. No drugs, no creams, no shots. And she is now sexy firm and trim. She wont shut up about how good it is now bla bla bla.
Its exhausting just hearing it all the time but she swears by it.
