This is a common complaint of low vaginal estrogen. Its generally easily treated with a once or twice per week application of vaginal estrogen cream (such as Estrace). Make an appt with your Dr for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

good luck

What about for those of us who can't use any estrogen product? Does anyone know what we "can" use.

Hi Mori, I am wondering the same thing.

Hi there

I'm a no-HRT sister due to cancer. I have been using RePlens which is available OTC in pharmacies. It is a little messy but has helped immensely with my menopausal dryness and irritation. I found the change to dryness with meno quite disconcerting and spoke to my GYN about it. He actually mentioned vaginal estrogen but backed off when I expressed my concerns about the estrogen-dependent cancer. He doesn't feel that the vaginal HRT products are bad for early stage endo cancer, but I'm not on his page yet!!

When I use RePlens regularly, I even experience less bladder irritation so I don't have to get up in the night so often to pee. There is also a product sold on this site that other sisters have raved about.

Check with your doctor for his opinion on a treatment plan for you.

I have had this feeling for about a week. It's like a rug burn inside 24/7. I have an appt in the am, I came on this site tonight for help and research, looks like I'm not alone.
