It is truly shameful that our doctors in First World Countries like the U.S., and Italy are not able to get our health insurance to pick up the tab on these treatments. If that is not a statement about gender inequality, I don't know what is. I imagine all the husbands of us women that want to continue to have great, naughty, intimate sex with our life partner must feel pretty angry and frustrated that their wives now seem "frigid" ( dry, can't get wet, pain with sex, less interest in sex, etc). All treatable symptoms if the doctors were better educated and women fought for these HRT treatments as hard as we are fighting for our rights for abortion up to the delivery date.
Totally agreed! It is horrible that treatments like this aren't covered by insurance. We women suffer this pain and makes life very difficult.
It's disgusting and pathetic. We give birth to children-REASON for such disrespect??? Punch in the face.
About an inch in, it's so painful and I don't dare to go further. I use to be able to put in a very long vibrater about 8 inches
North American nursing homes have many older women affected by this and the chronic UTIs that can ensue. This is a multi million dollar problem that healthcare continues to not educate men and women about. It is a real struggle to prevent, diagnose and treat this condition. NB It can even start occuring in breastfeeding mothers when their hormones are in flux.
Yes, it can! I had it with my last baby, and sex was very painful. (I had all C-section births.) It was years later that I learned that estrogen is low with breastfeeding. I did recover, but now that I am over 65, even on systemic HRT, I can tell my vaginal has lost the ruggae and the tissue is much more fragile, leading to painful sex.
Thank you both! Excellent information!
What an informative video
Thank you!
Thank you! Mary-Lou

When one is in their 70's and at least 20 years past menopause is a hormone cream effective? It seems that all the advice is for women that are menapausel while older women have similar symptoms. I was given a steroid cream which I have not taken because the cream states do not use internally.
Should I insist on a gynecologist or would a hormone cream work?
I believe the hormone cream is rubbed on the belly, buttocks, hips and thighs-to absorb through the skin. I don't know why anyone would give you sterroid cream for Estrogen deficiency. They also have internal vaginal hormone rings and suppositories. A gynecologist can get those for you. Primary care won't because they are not vagina experts.
It is already Aug 2022; I tend not to be a big #MeTOO thumper or a huge feminist; I feel women aren't victims but instead have to get skilled at doing the dance when men try to exert their power in the workplace; We women have some power with our feminine essence and sensual attraction. But, I am truly wanting to become a huge representative for women's rights. It is bad enough that Rowe vs Wade was reversed; I can even live with that since I live in ultra-liberal California; but the way my OB/GYN (female) and my general MD (female) treat me when I have questions and concerns about my vagina's health is inexcusable. They are uneducated; they are fearful; they tend to under dose and thus the HRT and Estradiol prescribed does not do the trick. It infuriates me.
That's sad that women aren't able to understand the needs of women in the medical community, where women's healthcare needs to be understood the most. Its frustrating that women are denied HRT after self education and their doctors are unsupportive. Its challenging enough to find a good health practitioner as it is, but when women need proper dosages of HRT to function daily and are denied its almost criminal.
