I’m 2yrs post recovery and experiencing ongoing problems with extremely tender vagina making sex impossible. I’ve tried lubricants and recently had a NuV laser procedure to try and rejuvenate the area but unfortunately,it hasn’t helped. My consultant has said I shouldn’t use oestrogen based creams to help. Can anyone suggest anything that’s helped them? It’s really getting me down.
Hello Tracey
You may find that using product such as SYLK or YES helps with dryness -both are recommended in the BCC booklet on the subject and don’t contain oestrogen. Wishing you well - this is just another aspect of being diagnosed and one which many people would dismiss as trivial but can make an enormous difference to your sense of wellbeing at this distressing time. Wishing you well.
