Jul 14, 2014 · Re: Vagifem and Estrogel used together Yes, you can use both. Some women do find that the systemic estrogen isn't enough to help with the vaginal tissues so also use a vaginal estrogen product.

Mar 24, 2004 · Hi there Premarin cream is much more effective in the short term than Vagifem is, if you've got a severe dryness or atrophy problem you want to fix in a hurry. Vagifem is a neater long term solution (as is Estrace). In the middle are …

Dec 31, 2003 · My GYNO has prescribed (on 6wk check yesterday) Vagifem and says it will relieve bladder problem - constant feeling of full bladder and need to go to loo every 10 mins - been tested twice for UTI - all clear. Has anyone else had any experience with Vagifem pessaries for this situation.

Dec 30, 2017 · Hi - I was 2-3 weeks post hysterectomy when I was prescribed Vagifem and first started using it. I asked for it because I’d had keyhole total hysterectomy and through my vagina. My vagina felt uncomfortable and didn’t feel right after the surgery. But the Vagifem seems to have really helped and it all feels good again.

Apr 10, 2004 · The moisture doesn't come from the vagifem dissolving but from the action of the estrogen on those tissues. If you use just the vagifem and don't feel any feeling of dryness (to me it feels like I'm getting a yeast infection, but without the cheesy white discharge), then you shouldn't need the replens.

Jun 1, 2009 · I started up the vagifem 2 weeks ago and have been using it everyday and I love it. My estrogen is low right now b/c was on Evamist, one pump, for 3 months. My estradiol was 14. I also added prometrium about 3 weeks ago and I think that is helping a lot. I'm thinking about using the vagifem every couple days and wondering if anyone else has ...

Jun 15, 2009 · I love Vagifem - have read that 30% of women who use systemic estrogen STILL need vaginal estrogen supplementation. I think I'm in that 30%. My insurance company just sent me a letter to inform me they're no longer covering Vagifem in their benefits - that they suggest Estring instead. That would be kind of funny to have to use Femring WITH ...

Apr 15, 2002 · I had been using the Vagifem for the past 2 mos or so. I really liked the convenience and no mess factor. My problems stemmed from low estrogen in the vaginal tissues which was leading to yeast infections and constant irritation following sex. Well the yeast infections stopped, but the irritation after sex did not.

Dec 14, 2006 · I also use vagifem for vaginal atrophy and my GP said that many women suffer with this problem after having hysterectomies. You can only get vagifem on prescription as far as I know. As far as your gyn goes maybe it is time for a change.

Jan 25, 2007 · Vaginal estrogen choices besides Vagifem include Estrace cream, compounded estrogen cream, Premarin cream and Estring, which is a vaginal ring specifically for vaginal dryness that is inserted and left in place for up to 90 days for continuous release of estrogen. I hope this helps! s
