What Causes Lower Abdominal Bloating And Headaches While On Vagifem?

I m 78 yrs., old, was prescribed vagifem 10 for pre-cancerous cells in cervix. Am finding that I bloat in lower belly area, have had headaches. Am on 800 mgs., of Multac for irregular heart beat, also a thyroid pill every day, plus a blood thinner. Do get light headed at times when cutting grass or weed eating. Do not like to be in the sun for long. Have not inserted vagifem in over two weeks. Frankly think its nuts at this stage of the game. No husband or man friend, so what s the point.

Hello,

Sorry about your health condition. Possible causes for your symptoms may be is:

1. Acute gastritis.
2. IBS.
3. Cystitis.
4. Urethritis.
5. PID.

Yes estrogen supplements not good for this age but if risk outweigh benefits then you may take it under your doctor advice.

Use tablet pantaprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care
