Vaginal Dryness - Dr. prescribed Premarin cream
Hi,
I have experienced vaginal dryness. The doctor gave me a prescription for Premarin Vag Cream 0.625mg. Use 1 gram twice weekly as directed.
It says to be administered intravaginally or topically twice-weekly.
I have not used this yet. I'm kind of scared. Since it hurt when i was having sex .That was well over a Month .
My questions is, because of all of the symptoms I'm experiencing due to menopause,??
I haven't had my FSH levels check yet.
Do i still use the cream without have sex?
Thanks Folks

Re: Vaginal Dryness - Dr. prescribed Premarin cream
So that you can get input from others who have kept one or both ovaries for the concerns that you have, this new thread was created for you from a reply you made on another member's thread.
The estrogen your doctor prescribed should help with the vaginal dryness which, over time, should make it possible for you to have sex without the pain associated with the dryness. From the Menopause and Hormones - Articles resource, here are two of many articles on the topic:

Vaginal dryness is just one of many symptoms women can have in menopause. If you are having other menopause symptoms and wonder if you are in menopause, you can ask your doctor to do the FSH test.
Hopefully others who have one or both ovaries will be along to share with you.

Re: Vaginal Dryness - Dr. prescribed Premarin cream
it should be used as prescribed...2 times a week (whether or not you are having sex during that time). it will help with dryness and has other benefits also.
