I couldn t sleep well and last at least 4 to 5 terrible days and nights. Because of the weekend, I couldn t see professional help. What do you think happened.?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to vaginal atrophy.
Apply water-based vaginal moisturizers.
Their effect lasts longer than a lubricant.
I also suggest applying topical estrogen cream directly to the vagina relieves symptoms quickly and effectively.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
