Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been told by my nurse practioner that i have vaginal atrophy. The itching drivess me crazy & she said it would be good for me to go on estrogen or premerin cream. After seeing all the side affects i dont care to use it! What can i do? How long does this itching go on?
Hello dear I understand your concern Vaginal atrophy is due to estrogen deficiency. I would suggest to consult the gynecologist and undergo proper examination for the proper treatment. I would suggest to ask the gynecologist for the estradiol patch application. Estradiol path has been found to be more effective and less side effect compare to cream and pill. Natural cream like estrocare can be useful Once you stsrt the treatment effect will occur in next 2-4 week. If medicine will not responds then go for Fractional Erbium and Fractional CO2 laser therapy. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise. Hope this may help you
Best regards Dr. Sagar
