For Atrophic Vaginitis "After 2 years of using BI pellets for HRT, had to choose an alternative and chose Yuvafem. Got Yuvafem but assumed it would work the same. Yuvafem application tool very uncomfortable to insert. About 2 weeks of using this product, had some discharge and itching. Thought - yeast infection and purchased a 3-day OTC. But didn't use it and the next day the symptoms were gone. After 2.5 months of using Yuvafem, recently started noticing what looked like a brownish discharge/spotting. Spoke to an ob-gyn's nurse, decided to wait till Monday and see if it's better. That night I had burning inside my abdomen. All weekend, felt like I had a UTI with abdominal and back pain. Monday, my GP doc did a urine test which was negative. After an additional 24 hours, the culture was still negative for UTI. At that point, started reading reviews about Yuvafem and found many similar stories to what I am experiencing. I will not use this product again and I hope the burning and internal pain go away soon!"

For Atrophic Vaginitis "As is the story for most women here, Yuvafem was prescribed as the generic choice for Vagifem. I had used Vagifem in the past and had no issues. It worked wonderfully. Getting a new prescription from a new doctor, the system automatically defaulted to generic, and I received Yuvafem. Day 1-2, I had some lower back pain, by day 3, I had urine retention (as if my bladder and urethra were constricted) and a full-blown UTI. It was awful. Thankfully, I had antibiotics on hand. I called the pharmacy and immediately had them override the change in product to Vagifem. The pharmacist also stated that many women complained about the side effects of Yuvafem."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Terrible medication. Just like others, I thought I had a UTI because of back pain, pain with urination, and bleeding, and the only change was my insurance switched me from Vagifem to Yuvafem. How is this drug on the market?"
