My experience is mainly post menopausal and triggered by severe Genito symptoms of the menopause. My life was so debilitated by this that I had to go on a HRT regime to get some Iife back at the age of 64. It has helped through a period of trial and error. Tried Vagifem and Intrarosa both caused irritation. I needed to add transdermal and Estring to get relief.The NHS has offered little support . My prescription is on the NHS but no one reviews it at all . I’ve had to wait one year for a phone call from Menopause clinic to be triaged on the phone. I had so much irritation I was convinced ingredient in HRT vaginal creams were causing it. I was assessed by dermatologist and an allergy panel. I was not allergic to the ingredients . Some of the ingredients are irritating to the skin however and should not be in these gels. The Estring solved the problem for me along with a little blissel or ovestin externally. I suspect the oestrogen may be contributing to an increase in incontinence and prolapse as I am hyper mobile and have lax ligaments. A women’s health physio states I now have a hypermobile urethra . So whilst HRT has stopped the symptoms of incessant burning it has caused other symptoms to be enhanced . It’s a balancing act to get it right and it is not easy to do.
