| Hi all - I was told I have vaginal atrophy over a year ago. I would like to do something for it, but I am hesitant to see another doctor because the last one was indignant, arrogant, and insulting; and ended by telling me it was my own fault (I was celibate for many years prior). I now have an awesome life partner, unfortunately sex is horribly painful. I have also developed a nasty greenish discharge that is worrisome. Are there any homeopathic remedies for this problem I can try? Thanks for reading :) |

| Nikki, Get a different GYN who has interest in menopause. I have had success using multiple remedies. (1) vaginal lube without glycerin; (2) low dose hormone replacement (0.3 mg estrogen/1.5 mg progesterone) (3) Estring which releases local estrogen into vaginal tissues. It is inserted vaginally and left for 3 months. I have had great improvement, but it is expensive bc of the cost of the medications. Additionally, hormone replacement is not without risk, but I take a low dose. The Estring took several months to get the maximum improvement with the Estring...so be patient. |

| sdale1: Had you gone w/o for a long time prior to starting your remedies? And how long did it take for the remedies to work? Thx, Betsy |
