I am told to keep using my Premarin cream. I was initiallyon estradiol 0.01% and changed to Premarin. I do not want to take Prempro. I haveused it for years with no improvement of my atrophic vaginitis and dysuria. I continue toget UTIs. And, as an OR nurse, I cannot drink water in the operating room, it is a risk tosterility. So I become water deficient, and I get urgency and I cannot leave the OR in themiddle of case. Sometimes a case can go 5 hours or more. Further, I am a 52 yearwoman and post menopause. I became menopausal in 2015. The skin on my face andneck are sagging — making wrinkles more pronounced. My vulva has become looserand sagging. I cannot perform sexually because I cannot get aroused using clitoralstimulation because it is so dry there. Lube does not help. I am very frustrated by this,as is my husband. I get anxious as well because my mind is constantly worried aboutmy atrophy and vulvitis. Going to a specialist— they are very conservative in treatment.My husband doesn’t understand. He continues to ask and I say my vagina is broken.Can you please help meIf you have a question, please visit our website and click Ask the Doctor a question.
