Menopause Support Group

I love KY Liquibeads. They desolve within 30 min...only a little messy...nothin a panti shield cant fix. it lasts 2-4 days average...i usually get 4 days unless I tub bath instead of shower.

My dr prescribed Premarin cream for that problem. Unfortunately I cannot use it as directed as it burns me. I do apply it elsewhere and it helps a tad. I use organically cold pressed coconut oil, a little messy sometimes but it does work for me...it was also suggested by the same doctor who is a woman roughly the same age so she has gone through what i have.

The Dr. just gave me a RX for Premarin, and told me to use it topical not internal. Someone suggested Crisco, guess thats on the same line as using coconut oil.

Crisco? Oh lordy, I could just imagine keeping a can of that by my bed. I like the cocout oil as it is solid until it hits the warm flesh then liquifies and is very fine. I also use it on my very dry skin after a shower. But if I needed to in a pinch I could use it for a stir fry.

where do you buy the coconut oil?

I am post menopausal and my gyn also gave me premarin but after reading the insert and about it online I decided not to use it. I am looking into natural ways now,,,,,just have to read about it. If I remember LOL
Thanks for the info.

I suffered from vaginal dryness for years...turns out it was my birth control pills doing it to me. To make matters worse, they kept me on them til I hit menopause. So if I'm suffering from dryness now, I wouldn't know it because I'm better now than I have been in decades. Now if I could just get my husband to have sex, I might actually be ready this time.

I buy my coconut oil in the health food section at a local grocery store. You can probably find it at any health food store. It can be pricey but a little goes a long long way. The first jar of it lasted me over a year.

thanks for the idea of using coconut oil. I love the feel of it!!!!

I got the coconut oil today and will try it - i also bought the cortisone and my dr told me about the A and-d i have estrace cream but did not
realize it caused some burning also- i think i will try your suggestions and cancell appt for a while
