These estrogen prescriptions are $500 for 3 months, and insurance won't cover much or any of it. It's ridiculously overpriced. Luckily I have an HRA account through my employer that covers it, but most people do not. Estrogen does NOT cost that much. It's only because people are too embarrassed to fight for lower costs of this medication, and pharmaceutical companies know that so can charge exorbitant prices. The pharmacy is always shocked at the cost when I need a refill. We in the U.S. suffer with a patriarchal society where men's sexual needs (ED) are covered fully and cheap, but for women who have painful sex - who cares?

About time someone talked about this! Thank you! I found a loosening of vaginal muscle, so much less pleasure experiencing sexual intercourse. This started in my 20’s! I am now in my 60’s. What a life loss.
I had this happen to me after my hysterectomy last year. I had my ovaries removed at 41. I got reoccurring UTI’s and I was miserable. I tried a naturopath for the first year after, but I needed the estrogen. It was like the sky parted and the sun was shining again. I’m on divigel and a small amount of vaginal Premarin . No UTI since❤️
Premarin is made from a pregnant mare horse 🐎 urine. Hence the term Pre Mare… they are laughing at you all the way to the bank. You can get natural estrogen from soy beans or soy milk. They also have some natural creams but I’m researching those.
Thank you, Dr. Northrup. This is very helpful. I've got your books and tried to follow many of your suggestions. The problem is often consulting our health care providers. Even faced with information, such as you provide, there is a wall. Peri-menopause was so challenging. My gynecologists (two over the years in the same clinic) have not been helpful, nor has my GP. It's taken until now, that I am in "official" menopause and have done so much research over the years that I am starting to get somewhere with a naturopath and a new gynecologist who didn't need a referral from my GP.

@@farwamasood3339 hello fatwa, i appreciate your reaching out, but I live in Canada and I'm further along in my VA and menopause journey. I have a gyn here now whom I trust and am under care. Best.
I was referred to someone by my PCP that was too concerned with finding something to do surgery on to even to talk to me about atrophic vagina. I am happy that I was armed with knowledge as it's truly powerful, I asked for vaginal estrogen.
@@chenalpatel6041 I can answer for you - yes it does - I suffered burning and problems passing urine - sometimes an infection as we get so dry down there and thin-skinned, sometimes no infection. Everything cleared up in 2 weeks! I had burning when I passed urine, especially towards the end, terrible burning, and a feeling of heaviness, and general discomfort. Very tender down there. Back to 90-95% normal now. My female urologist also put me on Hiprex which is an antibacterial tablet - can get it without a prescription in some countries - which helps reduce the bacteria whilst the hormonal treatment starts working.
Don't have to be old as you put it but just being female is the problem. Hormones can go out of whack as any age. Its the bloody complex female body ::))))
I was taken off HRT , and suffered from numerous UTI s . I was sent for bladder stretches as I’m allergic to most antibiotics, for which I carry a red card. At long last I’ve been given Ovestin and, fingers crossed, had no UTIs since. The burning on passing urine has ceased. The gynaecologist who saw me , said that my vaginal walls were raw.
Thank you for this much needed information and the why's and the reasons that a certain product my work and how ,my doctor seems to get frustrated with me when I don't want to take something or ask how it's going to make a difference, so this was very helpful.
I’m not even a lady but I appreciate what you have to go through as you get older. Sounds like it’s definitely not fun ! Us men have prostatic fun when they get old too! We all have different kinds of excitement as we age:)
I (and my poor husband) have been suffering with this for 10 years since menopause at 45. Nothing works. I've seen three gynecologists who just recommend ky jelly. One recommended an estrogen lubricant but it isn't available here in West Africa and I'm scared to order online because of all the fake drugs out there, it could do even more harm.
Hope your doing better! Have you figured out what to do yet? I am more for doing everything as close to Natural as possible! I don't want HRT due to the fact of "C". Which No one wants!!! I'm going through alot of changes myself. I'm post menopause 5yrs ++. For the last 6 months; I've had UTI's and and figured out that what I have is V.A. (Vaginal Atrophy) & some Prolapse Issues and/or not bad as of yet! Been doing research for the Prolapse and Surgery is NOT recommended!!! Regardless of what we've been lead to belive. Doing special type kegels and/or exercise or buying a small home personal use machine. Haven't figured this out yet. But working through it. There's lots of channels that suggest what to do. I started using a Natural Wild Yam = progesterone cream & also a vulva cream (with Wild Yam). DO NOT Use Virigin Coconut Oil... it's good if in a bind... the only reason why it's not suggesting this is because Coconut Oil is antibacterial; therefore after a long use..... it'll affect the PH in your V. Still having UTI' but feeling a little bit better as far as moisture. For the UTI, the best defense is the Kyolic Garlic TABLETS not the pills! This is a Game Changer!!! It helps with the UTI'S! But, you must make sure you're using a moisture for your private part! And taking Seabuckthorn supplement pills for aiding and help with moisture (plant omega pills too). Read an article about how Japanese women don't have these issues (V.A.) We do because we don't get enough estrogen (we dont need that much!!! In Japan they eat Soy!

It's good news to learn that vaginal atrophy is not the end of it! You exactly say, the dermis will "oestrogenise, cornefy" but what about other tissus in the body that let us down when oestrogen decline? Why there is no solution for women that experience very early thinning of the skin like dermoporosis? Extreme looseness of the skin (obviously it's the dermis or tge hyperdermis) even severe muscle loss while only on premenopause? Overthenight I found my boobs flaccid like women after they have breastfed I asked my gyno if there were something to do to restore and get them back to firmness, all I got was an explanation of how sometimes decrease in oestrogen thin tge layer of fat underneath the skin which gives its bouncy look and feel, but its a forever loss. Is it? Excuse my candid question but is there a way to "restore" the breast tissus and why not stop the thinning of other tissue? 🤔🙄😍
Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating when they constantly tell us the problems are due to low estrogen and leave it at that. I’m sure there is a solution that is safe.
Look at bio identical estrogen and progesterone AND testosterone. Women need testosterone for healthy tissue skin and muscle and many other benefits Women have 3 x amount of testosterone than estrogen but it is overlooked for women’s health
@@inaaranur1611 I know you can get some estrogen cream over the counter, but can you also get progesterone and testosterone OTC, or do you need a prescription from a doctor?
H r t is not harmful. It protects from heart attack, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. It restores the vessel growth and circulation to the reproductive system AND the bladder. The 2003 WHI study that deemed HRT harmful was a flawed study. Think about it ladies, our body makes health giving estrogen from puberty to menopause and then suddenly it become harmful?
Yep, sadly this Doctor doesn’t have a clue what it’s like. Then she wants to blame the woman for not having sex. Absolutely ridiculous. Get yourself some hormone replacement therapy. It is not harmful.
Out of the blue 2 months ago I started having pain and throbbing down there. I’m 66 yrs old so I started taking a tablet of vagiflem 10mg everyday for 14 days I felt better but then it was twice weekly and I’m on week 3. I have pain most of the time. It’s really getting me down. Sitting is hard laying down is difficult. I’m at a loss I wonder if I should have 3 tablets inserted per week. Or maybe I just need to give it more time.
Get on HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY. it is beneficial for preventing osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and heart attack. Our bodies have estrogen and progesterone most of our lives. It is not harmful. The 2003 WHI study was flawed also known as bullshit which has caused 2 decades of suffering for menopausal women and continued neglect from doctors who could help us!
@@dorothybeveridge3133 How you doing now?? My urologist started me on it daily for 2 weeks. I had a couple of break through problems but it's calmed right down now.

I’ve been sexless for about 5 years due to husband’s disease. Now a widow, but if I decide to remarry, I have to regain sexual life, now, at the age of 62. Never had HRT, or children, and everything is intact in my body. I may need doses of T, or estrogen,… What is the best way to have sex without a man, just to practice?
Has anybody tried hyaluronic acid suppositories? I really want to, but they are apparently only available online. Bonafide Health makes one I'm curious about. Thanks.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR FOR THIS INFORMATION I AM 57 YEARS OLD, I STOPPED MENSTRUATING WHEN I WAS ABOUT 51 MAYBE ALMOST 52, I DON'T SMOKE PERIOD, I NEVER HAD CHILDREN AND I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I'M NOT HAVING ANY SEX IT'S TOO PAINFUL, I ALSO HAVE A CONDITION CALL VANGNESMUS, I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH A MAN! BUT IT'S SO PAINFUL AND I BE DRY IN THIS AREA MY DR JUST DIOGNOSE ME WITH THIS CONDITION, IS WHY I CAME TO YOUR VIDEO, TO LEARN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN SO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO THNK YOU.
Once menopause hits, your body stops making estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. You will have hormone deficiency - that impacts all areas of your body. You will have to use creams, pills, patches suppositories etc forever.
Dear Dr. Northrop I find it ridiculous that you believe that a vaginal moisturizer is going to fix or even help this condition. My Gyn said the same thing. Burning and irritation continued for 4 months and then 2 consecutive urinary tract infections. The second course of antibiotics caused extreme illness. Why do you like to dismiss this condo as being cured with a moisturizer? Is it because you are selling one? Advising a woman with this condition to simply use a moisturizer or lubricant and continue to have sex is horrible advice that will lead to permanent damage and life threatening infection.
@@kkr5595 it’s not “some” women. It is most women. Anyone who has gone to the doctor with a tiny little itch and a little bit of “maybe” more discomfort during sex may be helped by a moisturizer but most women do not go to the doctor for things they can handle on their own or for slight discomfort. We have busy lives. Bodily conditions change day to day in small ways. It’s few women who run to the doctor for this. By the time a woman comes to you for help it is a serious problem and you need to help her. It is also very obvious upon examination the severity of the case you are dealing with. Thin and dry vaginal skin in visibly apparent. You and others gynecologist are being negligent when you suggest moisturizer for such changes. These women WILL return shortly or seek care elsewhere for the repeated bladder infections due to your negligence. Not to mention the damage to their own micro biome from repeated doses of antibiotics.
@@elsagrace3893I find her information to be very helpful. It sounds like you are bitter about your situation and lashing out at the doctor, which is unfair.

I'm Egyptian 35 years old married 13 years ago never get wet soo dry during sex even I feel sexual intimated I love my husband but as sex is severely painful till I bleed hate it My husband feel bad about it sometimes he feel guilty He tried every thing to make me wet I. Have 2 kids no estrogen or any hormones issue I feel very low . their is something wrong with me I start to feel that my husband have all the right to have some body else I visited 2 gynecologist both of them just gave me KY gel I feel stck
You are traumatrised in the vagina due to the bad sex. Of cause you dont want to have sex with a insensitive partner. I dont Think you love your husbond but that you are affraid of him. He has the power to have sex with you and he hurt you while he is doing so. And he blame you for it - he is a Dick. I feel sorry for you that you have to be in such a relation.
That is so sad. Try vaginal moisterizers as well as lubricates with sex. And estrogen cream to insert into your vagina twice a week. ( ask your doctor for this). Good luck.
Yes Estridol cream actually regrowth tissue over time.. only thing is you have to use it forever. If you stop using it your dryness and discomforts will come back😢
As the saying goes: If you don't use it you lose it. I have been celibate for more than 30 years. It was a spiritual life choice. I think I'm already estrogen domiate so I don't know if I should enlist estrogen treatment. I have no intentions of being sexually active without a husband. But I am hopeful that the condition is reversible as you say. However I will have to rely on appropriate exercise. But thank you for identifying the condition or I would never have known what was happening. 😊
There is no such thing as estrogen dominance. That is naturopath gobbledygook. In celibacy you are at risk of recurring UTIs which can become kidney infections. Constantly taking antibiotics. Your Dr. Is negligent to explain to you that HRT will correct all the vaginal and urinary tract problems and prevent heart attack, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. Relying on antibiotics to repeatedly treat a UTI leads to antibiotic resistance but the doctors do no care.
@@chloethemessenger this doctor has no idea how awful this condition is. Having sex when you have thin skin and terrible dryness is torture and damaging to your body. How and why would one engage in sex when it is painful and causes bleeding? AND expect it to reverse the menopausal decrease in estrogen? This doctor is EVIL!
I just ordered DHEA vaginal suppositories. I would love to know if you had any hair loss from DHEA and how much are you taking? Vaginally or orally? Thank you 🌺
I get it, but its mind boggling when a doctor recommends ky gelly. Like whaaatt! There is a plethora of natural remedies for this, why would you mention something with so many unnatural, unhealthy ingredients like a 17 year old. Ijs
Can someone help? I just need help with Vaginal Dryness because its affecting me so much mentally. I was on the Depo for about 1 year, then stopped it November last year and I just lost all my sex libido and absolutely no vaginal wetness, just complete dryness so matter how much foreplay and love I did with my partner, lubricants didn't help apart from friction, burning, stinging everytime, I was in a lot of pain. I haven't had sex since January this year. Doctor's given me Sylk vaginal moisturiser which I didn't notice. Can you please help me? Or will I ever feel like a woman again ? I am only 29. There isn't anything I haven't tried... 🥺😥😢

I have used Vagifem but have had three episodes of thrush in the last few months. I am convinced it's the Vagifem but my doctor says it isnt.
thank you for addressing this!
That was very informative, thank you.
Now I'm not soo scared of getting old,
"Thanks to this lady"
Don't have to be old as you put it but just being female is the problem. Hormones can go out of whack as any age. Its the bloody complex female body ::))))
Hi... nice to meet you ENEMA..... SEND ME YOUR whatsapp number....to somohike12@gmail.com
What about progesterone cream? To use in the outer and inside lips of the vulva?
Thank you. I used to have your books and now and thrilled to find you on here.
This is a wealth of helpful information for me.
I was taken off HRT , and suffered from numerous UTI s . I was sent for bladder stretches as I’m allergic to most antibiotics, for which I carry a red card. At long last I’ve been given Ovestin and, fingers crossed, had no UTIs since. The burning on passing urine has ceased. The gynaecologist who saw me , said that my vaginal walls were raw.
What about itching? Isn’t this a symptom as well? 🤔
It is
This is bloody painful the nerve pain is horrible
The itch is fascinatingly incredulouesly nutty!!
Ask about a prescription for Vagifem...
This doctor clearly has no clue what it’s like. Olive oil, coconut oil, LOL…yeah sure that’s the answer! 🤪🤪🤪
Thank you for these wonderful tips. Very helpful!
ladies, cells need magnesium to absorb good water.
I've been noticing my body is needing more magnesium. Covid recovery meant many nutrients restoration but magnesium is needed more now.
I suffered monthly UTIs for two years during my late 40s , my doctor never said a word about vaginal atrophy , just kept dishing out the antibiotics 😡
Same here - just terrible!
My friend is a doctor psychiatrist. She kept taking the antibiotics until she got c diff and more antibiotics.
Same
Thank you for this much needed information and the why's and the reasons that a certain product my work and how ,my doctor seems to get frustrated with me when I don't want to take something or ask how it's going to make a difference, so this was very helpful.
I’m not even a lady but I appreciate what you have to go through as you get older. Sounds like it’s definitely not fun ! Us men have prostatic fun when they get old too! We all have different kinds of excitement as we age:)
Thank you Dr Northrup.
I (and my poor husband) have been suffering with this for 10 years since menopause at 45. Nothing works. I've seen three gynecologists who just recommend ky jelly. One recommended an estrogen lubricant but it isn't available here in West Africa and I'm scared to order online because of all the fake drugs out there, it could do even more harm.
Hope your doing better!
Have you figured out what to do yet?
I am more for doing everything as close to Natural as possible! I don't want HRT due to the fact of "C". Which No one wants!!!
I'm going through alot of changes myself. I'm post menopause 5yrs ++.
For the last 6 months; I've had UTI's and and figured out that what I have is V.A. (Vaginal Atrophy) & some Prolapse Issues and/or not bad as of yet! Been doing research for the Prolapse and Surgery is NOT recommended!!! Regardless of what we've been lead to belive. Doing special type kegels and/or exercise or buying a small home personal use machine. Haven't figured this out yet. But working through it. There's lots of channels that suggest what to do.
I started using a Natural Wild Yam = progesterone cream & also a vulva cream (with Wild Yam). DO NOT Use Virigin Coconut Oil... it's good if in a bind... the only reason why it's not suggesting this is because Coconut Oil is antibacterial; therefore after a long use..... it'll affect the PH in your V.
Still having UTI' but feeling a little bit better as far as moisture.
For the UTI, the best defense is the Kyolic Garlic TABLETS not the pills! This is a Game Changer!!! It helps with the UTI'S! But, you must make sure you're using a moisture for your private part!
And taking Seabuckthorn supplement pills for aiding and help with moisture (plant omega pills too).
Read an article about how Japanese women don't have these issues (V.A.) We do because we don't get enough estrogen (we dont need that much!!! In Japan they eat Soy! But, NOT any type of soy; it must be OrGAnic & FERMENTED!!! (the soy we get here is loaded with GMO'S and NOT Fermented which is NOT good for us!!! Eating Natto is supposed to be the way to go! Again, I haven't gotten to try it yet. But, will be looking into it as well.
Please 🙏, if you can share any information on what you've done to heal... I would greatly appreciate it! As the Establishment doesn't want us Healthy; but rather sick and on meds!!!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi. nice to meet you... Phichays... how are you... send me your whatsapp number. To my mail somohike12@gmail.com
Super helpful. Thank you!
What about someone who’s had a hysterectomy? Still have ovaries.
Love this info thank you
Hi nice to meet you.... Mandy send me your whatsapp number to my somohike12@gmail.com
Is this what is causing post menopausal bleeding which has being going on for weeks? I had hysteroscopy 21 months ago, no cancer thankfully.
It's good news to learn that vaginal atrophy is not the end of it! You exactly say, the dermis will "oestrogenise, cornefy" but what about other tissus in the body that let us down when oestrogen decline? Why there is no solution for women that experience very early thinning of the skin like dermoporosis? Extreme looseness of the skin (obviously it's the dermis or tge hyperdermis) even severe muscle loss while only on premenopause? Overthenight I found my boobs flaccid like women after they have breastfed I asked my gyno if there were something to do to restore and get them back to firmness, all I got was an explanation of how sometimes decrease in oestrogen thin tge layer of fat underneath the skin which gives its bouncy look and feel, but its a forever loss. Is it? Excuse my candid question but is there a way to "restore" the breast tissus and why not stop the thinning of other tissue? 🤔🙄😍
Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating when they constantly tell us the problems are due to low estrogen and leave it at that. I’m sure there is a solution that is safe.
Look at bio identical estrogen and progesterone AND testosterone. Women need testosterone for healthy tissue skin and muscle and many other benefits
Women have 3 x amount of testosterone than estrogen but it is overlooked for women’s health
@@inaaranur1611 it's probably true but I've got aga, I suppose it bars me from taking testosterone.
@@inaaranur1611 I know you can get some estrogen cream over the counter, but can you also get progesterone and testosterone OTC, or do you need a prescription from a doctor?
H r t is not harmful. It protects from heart attack, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. It restores the vessel growth and circulation to the reproductive system AND the bladder. The 2003 WHI study that deemed HRT harmful was a flawed study. Think about it ladies, our body makes health giving estrogen from puberty to menopause and then suddenly it become harmful?
Hi, I have this. So painful I would scream during sex. None of the goop worked for lube and I can't take estrogen. Never had a kid.
Yep, sadly this Doctor doesn’t have a clue what it’s like. Then she wants to blame the woman for not having sex. Absolutely ridiculous. Get yourself some hormone replacement therapy. It is not harmful.
Out of the blue 2 months ago I started having pain and throbbing down there. I’m 66 yrs old so I started taking a tablet of vagiflem 10mg everyday for 14 days I felt better but then it was twice weekly and I’m on week 3. I have pain most of the time. It’s really getting me down. Sitting is hard laying down is difficult. I’m at a loss I wonder if I should have 3 tablets inserted per week. Or maybe I just need to give it more time.
Im 37 and experiencing this.
Iv been given estrogen cream to use twice a week. It’s not helping me . I feel like I’m sitting on a lump which is painful. Please advise. Thankyou
Get on HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY. it is beneficial for preventing osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and heart attack. Our bodies have estrogen and progesterone most of our lives. It is not harmful. The 2003 WHI study was flawed also known as bullshit which has caused 2 decades of suffering for menopausal women and continued neglect from doctors who could help us!
Hello I hope you are feeling better. Did you ever get this resolved
@@Jacqueline-ws9cv no . I’m still suffering. X

Has anyone suffered with prickling feelings
I’ve been sexless for about 5 years due to husband’s disease. Now a widow, but if I decide to remarry, I have to regain sexual life, now, at the age of 62. Never had HRT, or children, and everything is intact in my body. I may need doses of T, or estrogen,…
What is the best way to have sex without a man, just to practice?
Where are you located it
helpful information thank you so much 🙏💚
Thank you Dr. Northrup. Could you please give us the links to your product using pueraria mirifica herbal vaginal moisturizer?
go to her website and you can find all the products and order from there :)
LARK'S GARDENS - I cant find the name
Can’t find her sight to order her gel, anyone able to find it?
Has anybody tried hyaluronic acid suppositories? I really want to, but they are apparently only available online. Bonafide Health makes one I'm curious about. Thanks.
Coconut oil?
How is they going to replace your hormones
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR FOR THIS INFORMATION I AM 57 YEARS OLD, I STOPPED MENSTRUATING WHEN I WAS ABOUT 51 MAYBE ALMOST 52, I DON'T SMOKE PERIOD, I NEVER HAD CHILDREN AND I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I'M NOT HAVING ANY SEX IT'S TOO PAINFUL, I ALSO HAVE A CONDITION CALL VANGNESMUS, I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH A MAN! BUT IT'S SO PAINFUL AND I BE DRY IN THIS AREA MY DR JUST DIOGNOSE ME WITH THIS CONDITION, IS WHY I CAME TO YOUR VIDEO, TO LEARN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN SO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO THNK YOU.
Thank you
So we don’t have to use this cream forever 😃
Yes you do have to use it forever. If you stop everything will return to how it was before the cream.
Once menopause hits, your body stops making estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. You will have hormone deficiency - that impacts all areas of your body. You will have to use creams, pills, patches suppositories etc forever.
Dear Dr. Northrop I find it ridiculous that you believe that a vaginal moisturizer is going to fix or even help this condition. My Gyn said the same thing. Burning and irritation continued for 4 months and then 2 consecutive urinary tract infections. The second course of antibiotics caused extreme illness. Why do you like to dismiss this condo as being cured with a moisturizer? Is it because you are selling one? Advising a woman with this condition to simply use a moisturizer or lubricant and continue to have sex is horrible advice that will lead to permanent damage and life threatening infection.
She did add in the video that some women will need low dosed vaginal estrogen to help with this problem.
@@kkr5595 it’s not “some” women. It is most women. Anyone who has gone to the doctor with a tiny little itch and a little bit of “maybe” more discomfort during sex may be helped by a moisturizer but most women do not go to the doctor for things they can handle on their own or for slight discomfort. We have busy lives. Bodily conditions change day to day in small ways. It’s few women who run to the doctor for this. By the time a woman comes to you for help it is a serious problem and you need to help her. It is also very obvious upon examination the severity of the case you are dealing with. Thin and dry vaginal skin in visibly apparent. You and others gynecologist are being negligent when you suggest moisturizer for such changes. These women WILL return shortly or seek care elsewhere for the repeated bladder infections due to your negligence. Not to mention the damage to their own micro biome from repeated doses of antibiotics.
@@elsagrace3893I find her information to be very helpful. It sounds like you are bitter about your situation and lashing out at the doctor, which is unfair.
I’m 22 and I’m scared I have this

I was on Tamoxifen from 2001 for 5 years. What can help?
No! Do you???
I have avoided sex for more than a year , if I take vaginal estrogen, will it make sex worth doing again ?
Yes!😊
Im presently taking Premarin but I still have raw vaginal skin burning and iching only thing that helps is taking a warm and then cold shower to relieve my pain? Also, I see down there whiteness on part of vaginal wall what is that? Im only been on estrogen 2 weeks so far not working just yet someone said it takes months? When it does work will I no longer have raw vaginal skin and no burning and iching???? Please help thank you!
Hi I have the same symptoms my doctor referred me to a gynaecologist who said I had erosive lichen planus (part of the psoriasis group) I was prescribed steroid cream which has helped a lot unfortunately there is no cure for it
Just get estrogen pellets under your skin... none of her suggestions-worked for me
Where do you get that from?
Dr. Northrop is a clueless Quack
I have urinary retention and catheter my self I have urinary tract some time why it is burning so much but my urologist say I don't have urinary tract I would like some cream but I don't want estrogen I am afraid of it what can I do
Stop being afraid ..??

Estriol
I'm Egyptian 35 years old married 13 years ago never get wet soo dry during sex even I feel sexual intimated
I love my husband but as sex is severely painful till I bleed hate it
My husband feel bad about it sometimes he feel guilty
He tried every thing to make me wet
I. Have 2 kids no estrogen or any hormones issue
I feel very low .
their is something wrong with me
I start to feel that my husband have all the right to have some body else
I visited 2 gynecologist both of them just gave me KY gel
I feel stck
You are traumatrised in the vagina due to the bad sex. Of cause you dont want to have sex with a insensitive partner. I dont Think you love your husbond but that you are affraid of him. He has the power to have sex with you and he hurt you while he is doing so. And he blame you for it - he is a Dick.
I feel sorry for you that you have to be in such a relation.
That is so sad. Try vaginal moisterizers as well as lubricates with sex. And estrogen cream to insert into your vagina twice a week. ( ask your doctor for this).
Good luck.
Yes Estridol cream actually regrowth tissue over time.. only thing is you have to use it forever. If you stop using it your dryness and discomforts will come back😢
As the saying goes: If you don't use it you lose it. I have been celibate for more than 30 years. It was a spiritual life choice.
I think I'm already estrogen domiate so I don't know if I should enlist estrogen treatment.
I have no intentions of being sexually active without a husband. But I am hopeful that the condition is reversible as you say. However I will have to rely on appropriate exercise. But thank you for identifying the condition or I would never have known what was happening. 😊
I’ve been celibate for 5 years and I’m wondering if this is the reason 🤔😅
Yep spiritual and health choice celibate 16 years.
There is no such thing as estrogen dominance. That is naturopath gobbledygook. In celibacy you are at risk of recurring UTIs which can become kidney infections. Constantly taking antibiotics. Your Dr. Is negligent to explain to you that HRT will correct all the vaginal and urinary tract problems and prevent heart attack, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. Relying on antibiotics to repeatedly treat a UTI leads to antibiotic resistance but the doctors do no care.
@@chloethemessenger this doctor has no idea how awful this condition is. Having sex when you have thin skin and terrible dryness is torture and damaging to your body. How and why would one engage in sex when it is painful and causes bleeding? AND expect it to reverse the menopausal decrease in estrogen? This doctor is EVIL!
@@elsagrace3893 did you listen to ANY of the info she provided? Try to get the wax out first then press play
I am taking DHEA and I read that can improve the vaginal wall.
I just ordered DHEA vaginal suppositories. I would love to know if you had any hair loss from DHEA and how much are you taking? Vaginally or orally? Thank you 🌺
Be careful and see a doctor. I just saw my doctor last week and she told me NOT to use DHEA. She recommended hyaluronic acid among other things.
At age 35. No body listened to me
I get it, but its mind boggling when a doctor recommends ky gelly. Like whaaatt! There is a plethora of natural remedies for this, why would you mention something with so many unnatural, unhealthy ingredients like a 17 year old. Ijs
It's difficult to take a doctor seriously when she recommends KY - which has glycerin and parabens.
Can someone help? I just need help with Vaginal Dryness because its affecting me so much mentally. I was on the Depo for about 1 year, then stopped it November last year and I just lost all my sex libido and absolutely no vaginal wetness, just complete dryness so matter how much foreplay and love I did with my partner, lubricants didn't help apart from friction, burning, stinging everytime, I was in a lot of pain. I haven't had sex since January this year. Doctor's given me Sylk vaginal moisturiser which I didn't notice. Can you please help me? Or will I ever feel like a woman again ? I am only 29. There isn't anything I haven't tried... 🥺😥😢
