Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have been using vagifem pessaries since the beginning of December last year , everything has been fine until two weeks ago. For the last two weeks I have had extremely sore breasts . I am unsure as to whether I should stop taking the vagifem , any thoughts on it ? Thanks
Hello, Thank you for your question at healthcare magic
Breast soreness is less serious side effect of vagifem pessaries and you do not need to stop the medication. However if the pain/soreness continue to increase or if you notice any lumps developing in the breast, I recommend that you stop vagifem and consult your doctor. Meanwhile you can apply cold packs, wear supportive inner wear and use tylenol (if not allergic and no medical condition contraindicating use of tylenol) to relieve breast soreness.
Hope I was able to help you, Regards, Dr.Lekshmi
