When will the burning stop?!

Hello All!

I'm New to HysterSister & I'm in need of some serious support & feed back! I'm age 40, had my hys 3 months ago (kept my ovaries). After battling a yeast infection & SEVER vaginal dryness & vaginal burning, my doctor finally did a hormone test & my gestrogene levels are extremely low. She had me try estrace (only used it 3 days b/c @ the time it hurt to put anything down there) & vagifem which I used for 12 days & she says my vagina looks better, not much vaginal dryness & the burning is not as sever, but it still burns!

Now, she has me trying Premarin ( Started yesterday). I guess I said all of this to ask... Will the burning ever stop?????? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

HI,
I'm certainly no doctor but do think that the Premarin will start working quickly and yoiu will get some relief.
I got off Premarin several years ago and just got over redness and burning. The gyn put me on the Estrace cream for a while and that has taken care of the burning. Now, I'm going to be on Vagifem.

This is just my opinion. Oh, and I learned very quickly NOT to use Monostat because it has alchohol in it and it really does burn.
Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks goneforgood!

Can I ask, how long has it been since your hys? And have u had to take many other harmon medications? If so, did u gain weight or notice an increase in your breast.? I know ever women is different but, it's hard not knowing what's going 2 happen next. That's why I enjoy this sight. Any help you send is greatly approcated.

Thanks!

Hello!

I have another question. I've experienced some bleeding after sex (only attempted twice a/b 2 wks apart) My hys was 3 months ago & I haven't had any bleeding since my procedure. But the past 3 weeks I've notice a light- dark pink discharge & I also found-out 3 weeks ago I have very low hormone levels...which has caused me to burn like alcohol on an open wound!!! Not to mention the vaginal dryness!

My doc had me try estrace & vagifem and now she has me using premarin. Not helping yet & it's been 3 weeks!...I Just started Premain 2 nights ago.

Thanks for your input and
Happy New Year Ladies!
