Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Dryness

I have just started to have vaginal dryness a weeks ago, went to Thailand swam in a private pool, then to a hot spring in Japan, and it has gotten worse since then. My husband and I are living and working in South Korea now. I have been to OBGYN here with not much help he prescribed Clarithromycin tab 250mg 2tabs 2times daily for 3 days, acetaminophen 1 tab 3times daily for 3 days, cimetidine 1 tab 3 time daily for 3 days, amoxicillin 2 tabs 3 times daily for 3 days, gynoflor vaginal tablets 1 nightly for 6 days. Also had a painful hardness in breast and they squeezed out fluid and small amount of blood from my left breast. It is feeling fine since this was done. I also take minivelle 0.0375mg one patch 2x week and progesterone 200mg 1 cap for 14 days every other month both of these for years. Also I have started about 2 weeks ago Lorcaserin HCI 10mg twice daily for weight lose. I am at a lost what to do. Can t understand why I can t feel the way things were before these trips.

Hi,

The most common treatment for vaginal dryness due to low estrogen levels is topical estrogen therapy. These replace some of the hormones your body is no longer making. That helps relieve vaginal symptoms, but it doesn't put as much estrogen in your bloodstream as the hormone therapy you take in pills.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
