For Dyspareunia "At first, Intrarosa worked. I was thrilled. Too many UTI episodes and could not sit or walk. I was in pain. So, the gyno said to give it a try. Then I began to lose hair, get moody, and began to burn, so I thought, what is the point of this? I stopped, then tried again. I had the same burning. Stopped, tried again, same burning. I think drugs affect everyone differently and we have a lot going on down there. It's not just one thing. It's complicated. So sadly, it did not work for me. I am going to order something else to see if that will help. And with migraines, I have to be so careful."

For Dyspareunia "I was suffering from burning and took Intrarosa 6.5 mg inserts for 1 and 1/2 months. It took about two weeks and worked. Every time you pee, there is oil in the bowl, and you have to wear a pad to save your underwear. To me, that was minor because I no longer burned. I will, however, have to find another solution. I am no longer my 'happy, joyful, energetic, spirited' self. I feel flat, sometimes even bad, yuck?! My boyfriend keeps telling me I'm not myself. For the emotional effect it has had on me, I hope I can find a better solution."

For Dyspareunia "I have used Intrarosa for 9 months because I had vaginal thinning, and I burned down there. I was in so much pain before using Intrarosa. This drug has made my vaginal pH normal, and therefore fewer infections. I’m so happy with this product! Use the coupon with the insurance and only pay $35."

"I just started. Noticed some burning and swelling the next day after using, which made my bladder feel swollen. The melted oil was okay the next day. I noticed some very small, tiny white specs also in the morning in the discharge from the pessary. This was the morning after the first day. I am very nervous about this, as in the last year, I became prone to yeast infections. I’m 52. Never had a yeast infection my whole life. Premarin vaginal cream and Vagifem started the problem. I will rate again later after longer use."

"I am reporting back after starting this product for 10 days. At first, it burned the next day. But I kept using it to see if it changed. Glad I did because I no longer am in pain while sitting and I’m not feeling the urge to urinate every 15 minutes. I am not dry. I have noticed that it works really well if you pee before bed and then use it. Hit the hay and insert high inside. Don’t get out of bed unless you really have to. The oil is minimal, but just shower in the morning. I have noticed that in the morning I feel a little nauseated. It lasts until noon or so. Also, I feel totally sleepy. I have been checking my blood pressure and it’s all over the place. Lower in the morning and creeps up in the afternoon. I like what the product does for the atrophic vaginitis and bladder symptoms, but I will see what my doctor says about the other symptoms tomorrow."

For Dyspareunia "I’ve been using Intrarosa for quite some time. For the same reasons the other readers commented, like burning during sexual intercourse! The product works great, however, I swear every time I have to unwrap the suppository, I curse at how bad the packaging is. I actually use a pair of long-tip pliers to help me peel the plastic wrapper. I would seriously like to have the marketing and production team each try to unwrap a suppository and get their feedback on how they would make this product easier to unwrap! I can’t imagine someone with arthritis in their fingers or cream on their hands prior to peeling the wrapper… impossible! As for the applicator, I would suggest less in a package, six is too much. I would suggest a product packaging revision, a total must, so I would rate the packaging a 1/10."

For Dyspareunia "I tried this for vulvodynia. Only one dose and my bladder is going nuts. I feel like I have to pee, burning worse, and cramping like I’m about to birth a child. Not the solution for me."
