Can Replens Be Substituted With Any Other Vaginal Moisturizer Post Menopause?
I had breast cancer in 12/2014. My oncologist will not approve any estrogen-carrying options for my vaginal dryness that is affecting my sex life w/ my husband. Is there anything other than Replens (which I ve tried & was not helpful!) that you suggest? I m postmenopausal. Thanks!
As you are in menopause and vaginal dryness is common. There are many ways to treat vaginal dryness not containing estrogens. Vaginal jelly mostly used are K Y jelly etc are used for treating vaginal dryness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
