How Can Soreness And Dryness In The Vagina Be Treated?
I am 84 yrs old and have been on vagifem for some years. The two taken twice a week worked well when they were 25mcg, but since the reduction to 10mcg it is not working as well and am experiencing soreness and dryness. What can you suggest? Thankyou
Hello, Try adding a daily vaginal moisturizer to the vagifem. These are different from lubricants and need to be used daily. Some examples are: Fresh Start, K-Y Silk-E, Moist Again, Replens and K-Y Liquibeads. Good luck
