For Dyspareunia "I started using Intrarosa after it was suggested by my OBGYN. I used it every day for three months, and during this time I became very aggravated and mad at other people. I did not want any interruptions of any kind in my life. I gained 6 lbs.! I'm assuming that is because Intrarosa causes weight gain. The inserts are wrapped the opposite way as they should be. They should open from the bottom so you can stick the insert into the applicator without touching it. I used it at night as directed and did not have any problems with discharge except for the first time I urinated after inserting it. It did, however, take away all the pain I was having from sexual activity before and provided plenty of moisture when needed. I have also noticed my hairline receding and hair falling out. So my conclusion is... if I am fat and bald, nobody will want to have sex with me, so I am stopping Intrarosa. I would rather take something that has more clinical trials."

For Dyspareunia "Immediately stopped using Intrarosa after 3 months and 2 weeks! I gained 14 lbs, started losing my hair on the top of my head! Had night sweats and hot flashes and felt so tired! I would take a 3-hour nap after work for nearly 2 weeks, and I did not figure out why until I stumbled upon this website! Nothing brought back what menopause had taken away from me, I told my honey that lust has given way to trust, and we are good."

For Dyspareunia "My OB-Gyn prescribed Intrarosa because my blood panel showed that I had a very low testosterone level due to being post-menopausal. My doctor claimed that this drug should be able to help me with my post-menopausal symptoms. I had reported having a low libido, weight gain, tiredness, mild depression, and anxiety. He told me that it would take 3-4 weeks to see any changes and/or effects being produced by this drug. I found that after a month of taking Intrarosa, I was even more exhausted than before. My libido didn't increase one bit, I gained ten pounds, and my depression and anxiety were exacerbated. I hope this drug has been able to help others. It did not help me."

For Dyspareunia "Intrarosa helped in that it made sex a 'bit' less painful, but I am having significant hair loss and irritability. The residue did stain my pajamas, but OxiClean spray got them out. I started noticing a darkness around my pelvic area on my legs. Today I noticed odd dark spots on the top of my legs in my groin area. What is this? I have experienced weight gain, irritability, bloating, gas, major hair loss, and weird discolored spots in my groin area. I am so thankful to all the women who have shared their experiences. I was really troubled by the hair loss especially."

For Dyspareunia "I have been using it now for 3 months, only use 1/2 a night, not the whole. I have noticed being blah. I used to have UTIs every month and have not had one since starting this. I have started to gain weight, but not having a bladder infection is worth it so far. I have had low blood pressure, so I will have to see if it has gone up. The dripping to me is no big deal, it’s just at night for a while. I hate using any drug, so this is hard for me, but I hate UTIs."

For Dyspareunia "I was so optimistic about this product helping with vaginal dryness and intimacy. It has left me with weight gain, making me look bulky, edginess, and chronic back pain."
