The most comprehensive video on this topic!!!! Thank you! Tired of doctors who refuse to rx estradiol for menopausal women! Love that there ARE options, just very difficult to find doctors who are on board. Thank you!!!
I’m a medical professional and have been on BHRT since I was 50. I am 67 now and will never stop. I really do not understand why female MD’s do not join forces to get these treatments approved under insurance. Women need to man up and get it done. I can pay out of pocket for mine, but not everyone can afford it.
I’m on vaginal estradiol tablets. I just got on social security and Medicare and my copay is $81 for 3 month supply I also use Replens V moisturizer That I get from Amazon at $15 a month. I’m also on other meds, some with high co pays so it’s I’m stretching just to pay for those and Together, they both help but I still have discomfort especially if we wait to long to be intimate. There’s got to be a better way but those laser treatments are really not affordable
Thank you for such an informative video and the beautiful way you to support women. I like that you add the PRP with the laser. I am in Toronto Canada and I don't see anyone who can do that here.
I wish it was that easy to resolve vaginal dryness with just drinking water. It's just not the dryness, also the burning sensation after intercourse, itching, frequent urination, UTI, I don't want any of that so I got vaginal estrogen and I have amazing result in just 4 days of using it.
yes it really is helping me as well and the brand is Yuvafem..Very easy to use with the quick suppositories and applicator. I just don’t like the warnings so I’m going to look at other natural avenues for myself but for now this really does work quickly just using twice a week.
Thank you, doctor, for this insight. I have not been active since 2019 and when I started recently I was in shock to have that horrible pain. I started researching it and your video is very enlightening ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Talk to your GOP politician - they want to make ALL estrogens Illegal. How do I know? Because I'm in court trying to win against them! Beware ladies, the GOP is coming for your sex life. Reply @KM-rc7db @KM-rc7db 2 days ago
I'm really upset that I've asked doctors about the pain I have that has made intercourse impossible and they just said, "use lube." I thought I had some kind of weird disease... I wasn't sexually active with a man until my mid 40's and by then, I was experiencing pain already. Now I can't even come close and even contact on the outside of the vagina causes pain and burning. I haven't tried for years now, not since the day I finally admitted to my husband that it hurt, and since then he won't even try because he doesn't want to hurt me. In addition to the pain, I had spotting afterward for a day or 2 and it took some time to recover and feel normal again.
Teach your partner about sex OUTSIDE the vagina. There is no reason why a woman must suffer pain to have enjoyment. The only thing that matters to men is their orgasm. Girls, get a copy of the Hite Report. I can't believe that women are afraid to talk about real sex and the fact that most women do NOT orgasm without clitoral stimulation. Why do you hear so many women talk about 'finishing themselves off'? They aren't talking about suicide! They're MASTURBATING! And there's nothing wrong with that. Teach your partner what you want.
My doctor gave me Premarin. It’s worked somewhat but it took three weeks to feel slightly better BUT but I still feel quite dry up there and the outer area itchy and sore like sandpaper rubbing against my skin. Is there a better option?
I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis about 10 years ago ( ('m now 76 y.o.). Any help out there for this condition. My doctor just told me that I could no longer accommodate a penis and it's been somewhat depressing and I have not dated anyone because of it.
Dr can you help me , I’m in a loving relationship after 15 years of abstinence, but I experienced severe pain with penetrative sex, it’s like my cervix won’t open to allow my partner inside
I widowed 11 years ago at 47 and became inactive until an encounter 3 years ago. I was shocked when I experienced extreme pain.. now at 58 I just resigned myself to be celibate for the rest of my years and I am so very sad about that, plus no men are interested in me anyway..
There are a thousand ways to please a partner without vaginal sex. My god ladies, read the Hite Report - There is NOTHING wrong with you- Only YOU can fix your sex life - learn how to please yourself and teah your partner what you like
I also had amazing results with vaginal estrodial cream, however after about 2 months my breasts started being achy and had terrible gas intestinal problems. Once I stopped cream, all these annoyances disappeared. Now back to finding perfect lube.
Am 57..and finding sporadic episodes of dryness leading to painful engagement...and i long had menses stoppping at 12 years ago..would rhis work for me or i need more interventions?
They need to update their knowledge. There are multiple options for local estrogen that are safe for women with estrogen positive breast cancer. Katie Couric had estrogen positive breast cancer and has some sort of device ( e string???,). I have seen some posts by a Dr. Liz Oriorden of England who had estrogen positive breast cancer and used some sort of local estrogen because riding her bicycle caused labial pain and trauma. Good luck, find an educated doctor.
" Topical progesterone goes directly into the body whereas an oral progesterone pill is 90% first pass metabolized by liver. Thus, a 20 mg skin dose of progesterone is equivalent to a 200 mg progesterone pill taken orally." ( Dr. John Lee)
Go see a FEMALE hormone specialist. And if anyone tries giving you straight Estrogen - RUN as ast as you can because they are not any good! Bio-identicals with a blood test every 3-6 months will keep you moisturized, happy and horny. LOL Do not use the PELLETS! You need cream estradiol and estriol combined, also a cream progesterone and a progesterone pill. Compounding pharmacies will do this for you. Many Female Nurse Practitioners will provide BIO-IDENTICAL hormones in creams.
You can't take straight ESTROGEN - I'm have been on bios for 11 years WITH heart disease. Guess what? It made if BETTER! You're doctor doesn't know the science or they are lazy or a man. Get A NEW DOCTOR!

That is exactly right! I am one that can’t afford it.
What is the name of the tablet you can get and do you need a prescription? Thank you for your video
Thank you for eloquently explaining this. I received Intrarosa from my dr and wonders if it was safe. I love how you explain things so clearly.

Can you please share what you are using?
I would also like to know what you used.
@@Judyeastman This is just a guess but maybe estradiol? I just started using it and it's already helping after just 2 weeks.
From where you get this estrogen
yes it really is helping me as well and the brand is Yuvafem..Very easy to use with the quick suppositories and applicator. I just don’t like the warnings so I’m going to look at other natural avenues for myself but for now this really does work quickly just using twice a week.
Hello, how do I get the pill?
Amazing like always
Thank you, doctor, for this insight. I have not been active since 2019 and when I started recently I was in shock to have that horrible pain.
I started researching it and your video is very enlightening ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same for me. Awful
This is wonderful I’m going to ask my gynecologist about the vaginal laser, your channel is so educational
Thank you.
Been thinking about getting the ThermiVa done.
Insurance should cover vaginal laser! They pay for men's issues/viagra but not women!

Have you managed to resolve this?
What can help if u cannot have estrogen replacement due to breast csncer
I tried Estradiol pessaries, it made no difference to the pain and gave me severe irritation. I don’t know what else to try
I'm on systemic HRT and using Estring. What method would work for extreme vaginal atrophy (labia resorbtion and disappearing clitoris?)

Can I use Intrarose with Estradiol? How long would I use the Intrarose for?

A friend was also diagnosed and given a prescription in UK, but then had to import from USA £££
Seek and you will find...
I know that there are different types of local estrogen that are safe. Ask for it if you want to date.
Hello if I'm using Yuvafem can I do the pallets also?
I was told to drink more water for vaginal dryness.
You need to find a new doctor!!!!❤
Dr can you help me , I’m in a loving relationship after 15 years of abstinence, but I experienced severe pain with penetrative sex, it’s like my cervix won’t open to allow my partner inside
It's not your cervix.. it's your vulva..your cervix is the opening to your uterus?

Proverbs 3:5-6
Can you use the vaginal ring if you had a hysterectomy? Can it escape the vaginal canal and end up in your body?
I had a hysterectomy. Could you explain more on the virgina Ring
I use doctor wharps cream
How long does it take after laser treatment to heal completely?
I also had amazing results with vaginal estrodial cream, however after about 2 months my breasts started being achy and had terrible gas intestinal problems. Once I stopped cream, all these annoyances disappeared. Now back to finding perfect lube.
Invezzy?
I live in Southern California and I’m wondering if you can refer somebody in the San Diego county or Riverside County area preferably San Diego
What if you are dibetic?
If sensitive to micronized progesterone, can the progesterone and estradiol both be used vaginally during perimenopause?
Would it give you a bleed ❤
The laser therapy is so expensive
Am 57..and finding sporadic episodes of dryness leading to painful engagement...and i long had menses stoppping at 12 years ago..would rhis work for me or i need more interventions?
What if you are breast cancer estrogen positive where you have been advised no estrogen and doctors just won't prescribe anything.
Don't take estrogen - take a different form. A hormone specialist who DOESN'T subscribe pellets will be able to help you. BIO IDeNTICALS ONLY!

Can you address bio identical hormone replacement and people with Essential thrombocytosis. My gyno says I can’t take hormones!
