For Atrophic Vaginitis "Prescribed this for vaginal atrophy and UTIs related to sex. After much hesitation I tried this and within a week the vaginal irritation after sex stopped. A miracle, however I did start to get pelvic pain and after 8 weeks started with irritation in my uretha. I'm taking a break from it."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "8 years ago when I started using it the results were good. Have been using it on and off since then. Now after symptoms became worse I decided to do a 14-day treatment but on day 10 it has made no difference. Now not sure what route to take."

"I was very nervous when I used Vagifem for the first time. Worried about severe side effects, etc., as I'm a very nervous person, but after reassurance from my GP, I started and have been on them nearly 2 weeks now and feel great. Little cramp one day and a tiny bit of spotting, but that apparently is normal and will settle. My GP recommended Vagifem as I was getting repeated UTIs due to menopause, which I never had any bladder problems in my life. I'm hoping these will stop the infections and hopefully make me look 30 again!"

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Very poor results 5 months and thing are worse than before worse ever thrush which took ages to treat prolapse more uncomfortable, now trying some steroid cream to reduce inflammation from Vagifem. Packaging completely unacceptable what a waste of plastic."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "The product works very well, and I'm happy with it. Just want to know, what idiot thought up the name? VAGIFEM? Like my vagina is not feminine enough? Horrible, horrible name."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "I used a 10 mcg on Sunday and Thursday for a total of 2 pills. It did wake up my lady parts but also caused a constant soreness and pressure in the pelvic area, and I am very bloated. Not worth it."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Vagifem still works but due to lower dose I have to use more often. My doctor says this is very common with reduced dosage. I very glad that she will prescribe sufficient pessaries for comfort."
