Vaginal atrophy is a big problem. But there are great solutions! I hope this video helped you. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Dr I get frequent UTI after intercourse
That is a very common problem and I recommend that you see your urologist about that. All the best!
Thanks Dr
I do have problem of vagina dryness
ChristiMD Medical Group Thermiva is a win for feminine medicine that’s for sure. That male shaped radio frequency device is amazing.
The CO2 laser from that other company is also very nice win.
But what about Masculine medicine? Thermiva could be the answer for masculine medicine.
Masculine medicine should have a female shaped version of that radio frequency device. Make a female shaped elastic version of that device.
Otherwise masculine medicine will lag behind and that’s a form of inequality.
This is what I hate about videos made by doctors. They always say let me know if you have any questions and comment below. I see many questions and I see absolutely no comments from the doctor. Except to say you're welcome. Stop offering to answer our questions if you don't intend to answer them.
I noticed the same thing.
So true and frustrating
@@pamelam7491 I think there needs to be a website or channel hosted by normal people who have had various experiences with all kinds of treatment and treatment providers to share with others. I find I get a lot of good info from the comment sections of these channels. Any thoughts?
She said to go to her website if you have questions because there is a space to ask questions privately. She didn't say to ask questions in the comments section.
These are not true doctors. Most of these docs on YT appear to be reading from Wikipedia. Thus, anyone can be a doc on YT. Did anyone look for her credentials. They can fake them too.
I disagree that the Mona Lisa treatment is not painful! I found it very physically painful and financially painful. Did not work for me and $1500 later I better. No guarantee that it will be successful so buyer beware
Can u list the vaginal estrogens we can buy over counter? And the best lubricant?
Sadly not covered by insurance so only wealthy women can get this done. I live in constant pain since menopause.
Agree
I use the cream every second night and it works well.
have you tried castor oil ? it may be interesting and all natural. consuming kefir may help too.
Thankyou ! thankyou! THANK-YOU! My Dr gave me Estrogen cream and I was so scared to used it! . But the vaginal dryness has been awful, awful! Don’t ever think your not helping people. You just saved my quality of life
,
Thank you!
I’d rather use coconut oil or olive oil,all the other stuff sound a bit too medical for me ,thanks for the information👏🏻👏🏻❤️
So informative Dr. Christine! I’m 59, (post?) menopausal. The ads for vaginal rejuvenation make it sound like it’s this sexy frivolous thing for young women who want a tighter vagina for their man. Gave up on sex and relationships when it was so painful, I bled and cried. I tried the estrogen cream sporadically, messy didn’t know what I was doing, basically not instructed and too mortified to ask. Suffering in silence for too many years. Now I know. Thank you! You may have changed my life 🎉
Went through menopause 10 years ago. I'm 68 and have no symptoms except dryness. I can't believe they call it atrophy!! It almost makes me angry. Do they have something equally disgusting to call one of the man problems 😂 Yuva Fem vaginal tablets work with no side effects for me. I only use one a week because I wanted to use the least amount as possible to resolve the symptom. It also cuts down on the cost. I tried the cream a few years ago and stopped as it made me feel hormonal again. But there are probably different versions of everything.
Another point to be made in the issues regarding the reasons for the acceleration of vaginal atrophy,
is caffeine consumption, sugars and alcohol…of course these 3 habits in particular must be addressed regarding menopausal and post menopausal issues in their contribution towards the thinning and dryness do to the hormonal changes ……..Any foods and liquids that dehydrate are a culprit…..quality fats and getting a grip on food allergies will help considerably…….a more keto diet and quality fluids throughout the day…
About Thermiva or Mona Lisa: How do we get practioners to protect the 12 O'clock and 6 O'Clock areas of the vagina? 12 O'Clock has the urethra and G-spot and 6 O'Clock has the rectum both areas should be protected according to my pelvic floor PT and other PT authors!
Making and drinking my own kefir changed my life with this issue. I make desserts with kefir too and since consuming have had no issues and believe me the irritation drove me insane. All good now. Bx
Oh that’s interesting, kefir 👍 because as you say the irritation is driving me insane even with using pessaries
Just came across this in the middle of the night, and I've come to the conclusion that it is better to be a man. But then again we have a prostate.
I just found your channel. I have had the MLT done 3 times already and I am still facing some dryness, but it has improved. I also feel like my sex drive has diminished quit a bit. Is there anything we can take to improve that?
Perhaps maca supplement?
My great doctor in India told me this time to get rid of everything and apply coconut oil
I’m
Gona try that sincerely
Iv been suffering with u explained stinging in urinal area and frequent Utis
Horrible disease !
I had the Mona Lisa Treatment…….it works, I noticed a difference after the first of 3 treatments.
Every time I have sex ...I'm having bleeding with urine...then burning sensation started.. ending up with uti for a months...this uti lasts upto 5 to 6 months....I have fibroid also....can anyone tell me what's happening...😢.please tell
Thank you, this is where we can get our real answers to problems, our doctors offices are too busy and controlled to be of help. Thank heaven for You Tube where the real doctors are. Thanks to all you wonderful Doctors.
Thank you for your comment
I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis at menopause, and I have been using Betaderm cream for over 20 years now and I get checked regularly by my GP. I have experienced complete atrophy of the labia folds over the years but, recently, the condition seems to be responding well to just Sudocream application and/or Vaseline. I have not used the Betaderm cream now for over a month and my condition seems fine and I’m not experiencing any itching or burning hardly at all. Do I need to worry about further atrophy of the genitalia or worsening of incontinence from discontinuing the Betaderm? I was concerned about the prolonged use of the steroid so I stopped using it as an experiment. I was also noticing some swelling of my face recently and some occasional sweating. Are there withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing the Betaderm? Many thanks for your channel - it is very informative and the comments are helpful.
I spent maybe over 700 dollars on different oils and cremes for my itch and soreness in vigina I got tested in December 2022 I had Tinea I was Recommended Lamisil Gel. Gel sticks to the skin better than creme. It takes 7 straight days before you will feel results. What I did was shower in the morning rub in Vaseline then wash at night put on Lamisil Gel.
I was diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis a year ago. My doctor acted like it wasn’t a big deal, and basically only told me to change my brand of toilet paper. It’s miserable! I’m looking for a new doctor and getting help from my dermatologist.
@@TexSquirrelSorry to hear that your doctor is a moron. Lichen is not caused by toilet paper nor will it go away from stopping certain brands of toilet paper. I believe Clobetasol cream is best when there’s a flare up. But I’m not a doc. Mention that to your new doc😊
Replens and Omega 7. Game changers and a fraction of the cost. No estrogen.
How long do you have to use them
Amy R. Replens burned like fire on me . Never again I’m using coconut oil but I may need something stronger.
@@seemarie Replens is an over the counter moisturising cream. However, I also experienced severe burning when I used it.
Where do you get omega 7?
@@laraoneal7284 My partner loves using coconut oil. Listening to him you'd think it's the best thing next to sliced bread and pockets. It absolutely works for is but I would personally like to have something that is spontaneous and doesn't have to be kept around for use at the time. And that doesn't stain the sheets. The first time we tried it I had handprints on my sheets thst took multiple washes to get out. I recently turned 50 and he 57. Our sex life is AMAZING!!!!! But as we age, things definitely change. I had a hysterectomy 2 1/2 years ago and even though I kept my ovaries, dryness became a big problem in my opinion. He says it's not a problem but for me it is. Also, the ability to orgasm changed. I am utterly fulfilled with our sex life yet I'd still like to have the kind of orgasms I did prior to the hysterectomy. We are all about experimenting and experiencing new levels of physical intimacy. And for our ages, I think we do pretty darn well. Fantabulous even!!!!!!!!! My sex life is way better than it ever was in my 20s and 30s. Granted, a partner can make all the difference. My late husband was not passionate or any of the things most women want. When I met my current partner 8 years ago, he rocked my world!! I think I rocked his as well. Eight years later and we're still going strong. He is kind, positive, passionate and compassionate. It makes it so much better when your partner is that way. I didn't realize how amazing sex could be until I was in my early 40s. I am certainly not willing to give it up for some dryness.
Lubracil is good Amazon for dry
I love that you are sharing your expertise online, with others. Very few doctors do that.
Thanks for that encouragement!
@@Easy_cure_by_drobelawhat did she say or advise you to do for estrogen
@@Easy_cure_by_drobela HOW?
Dr's getting rich from women trying to trick their bodies!! ITS ALL NATURAL!! YOU'RE OLDER, AND THATS OK!!! EVERYONE AGES OUT OF ACTIVITY THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG!!
I used the Estrogen cream for several months with no improvement. So I did 4 sessions of the Mona Lisa which was very painful and I bled quite a bit so I quit having the Mona Lisa and it was also very expensive. Still searching for a treatment that works without pain.
I have major dryness only on one side of my outter labia, external lip. I am 36 yo- do you suggest using the cream since I can localize it to that one area outside? I don’t think i have any issues inside ?
Also could the lack of estrogen be the cause of recocurrig BV? I have to be so careful seems my vagina is so sensitive I did change all my detergents make sure nothing has any fragrance in it I wear kind underwear I do all of the right things and sometimes I will still get bacterial vaginosis to the point where I keep the medicine in my house in case I need to do an insert if I feel like coming on, so could the lack of estrogen be the actual cause of this and not necessarily something else?
Happy New Year, Dr Christi, can we rub coconut oil into the vaginal wall or just for the exterior part only? Thank you for your advice.
I wish you were in South Florida. You’re so knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing.
DR OBELA HEALING HOME ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY.
The Mona Lisa Touch is expensive in Australia ($600 - $700) per visit. There's 3 visits initially and I needed top ups every 5-6 months. This cannot be claimed on medicare, so costs are completely out of pocket. The treatment itself remained painful for me, even when using a topical anaesthetic cream. It also takes 5-10 days to recover and starts to deteriorate about a month before the next treatment. So not ideal. The oestrogen based cream is also required. So for many of us, this is a big cost undertaking with patchy results. I can't help wondering if men suffered this problem if the treatments would be better and free!
Here in the US our health insurance companies cover Viagra and other male impotency drugs. Yeah...
Your comment about men is stupid. It's up to women to fix women's problems not men. How are men meant to know the problems if they don't suffer from it themselves? Do you know older men's problems and what they feel like? And if you did, would they be your first priority to cure or would it be issues you understand better yourself?
@@loots9821sadly you missed the point of her statement - no need to be so incredibly rude and vulgar
@@gloriasaliba3395 it may have been rude to say "stupid" but it wasn't vulgar. Modern women criticize men at every turn for everything, including their natural behaviours when our own natural traits are no better or no worse. Why should our problems be solved by men? Where are all the feminists training as doctors to cure women's issues? Or do they just wait for men to do it for them?🤷♂️
It would be free.. women need better healthcare
Will this help if you’ve had a total hysterectomy?
Use a thick baby bottom cream. Works better than hormone creams etc. And stays on longer. Don't use immediately before being with your husband as it dulls everything down, use coconut oil or similar.
Why do you say vaginal oestrogen is first solution when there’s plenty of other options before that such as vitamin E capsules, massage in the intimate area, vaginal moisturiser, more sex, pelvic floor physiotherapy etc etc etc etc your tips on natural solutions should always come first!
I found olive oil no good as it got really uncomfortably hot and was absorbed too quickly, coconut oil on the other hand was really good.
I had a hysterectomy in 2014. I have been using Coconut oil for dryness every day. Also for a lubricant.. It has been a lifesaver.
I use coconut oil as well. Cheap and needs no prescription. It works amazingly well.
@@marilynvanos3081 Hello how and when do you use the coconut oil ?
A LIFESAVER? BEING LUBRICATED HAS SAVED YOUR LIFE?! WTF?!
After my Hysterectomy, it is very painful if I don't use a lubricant. I don't produce it. It literally feels like sandpaper inside. Horrible
After I shower. I put a little on my finger and insert. I wear a panty liner to keep off of underwear.
Before intercourse I do the same.
Coconut has other benefits as well. I used to get many yeast infections. Now it it rare. It is supposed to have antifungal properties.
Hello doctor
Just saw your vedio.
I am also going through the pain, burning, stinging sensation and dryness while intercourse . I am a breastfeeding mom to 7 months old baby. My doctor gave my estrogen cream and a numbing cream also and i am using ky lube water based. But the issue is my yeast infection came back again and again. I dn’t understand why? May be the ingredients in the lube or something else
Please help me if you know about this concern. I will be very thankful to you doctor.

I take estrogen. I had sexual dysfunction since I was 14 yrs old and had a hysterectomy at 41. Still have sexual dysfunction and it got worse, even though I take estrogen. Lubrication has never been a problem. It’s more about clitoral blood flow and sensitivity. What do I do for that, when estrogen isn’t the issue?
Compounded estrogen and testosterone cream or sound wave therapy will help.

Why is it my doctor is so against the laser? It's not FDA approved according to her. And insurance doesn't cover many things that will help women with these issues. The ring is upwards of 3000 dollars out of your own pocket. It's unbelievable how women are treated by the medical community.
Hi Doctor please I want to know if vitamin E oil is Also good to lubricate the walls of the virgina
Dont use vitamin e oil inside . Take vitamin e capsules only as directed on bottle.

Are there effects on mood when atrophy is at its worst. I have the symptoms you described but mood and temporary hot flashes as well. Probably 10 years past menopause symptoms.

MonaLisa ruined my vagina. I was so hopeful at 61 and I have not had a sexual experience since then. I am 63 now. Terrible pain, burning and infections constantly. My doctor burned my labia too. Do research!! Be careful.
I just came across your video.
I started having all of that problem including pelvic pain.
I went to a “Duke” Doctor and it was the biggest disappointment in my experience with a Gyno.
My other resolution was seeing a “Pelvis Therapy”. She was so helpful that following her advice my condition have gotten better!!
Hi maam.is pelvis exercise really help to this problem?is it kegel exercise?pls help.i felt a lot of pain this time.thank you
Hey! I’d like to hear how therapy helped you!! didn’t follow thru w/ pelvic therapy b/c it didn’t seem ,during assessment ,like the Therapist could address how it might help the inner pain w/sex-my only complaint-She set me up to work on the pSos muscles …..which I can do at home. With a $50 copay in these tough times…if she didn’t know how therapy could address my issue, I never went back. 😬
You are right. This helps as well.
There are good male doctors, but I always gravitate to women doctors. When I was in my 20's a male Gyno squeezed my uterus like a friggen lemon! I started bleedng and stormed out of there saying "If you send me a bill, I will send it back to you in a million little pieces!" I pity his wife! Been successfully going to women ever since.
@@bluerazz3504 why anyone would go to a male gyno is beyond my comprehension. [he is certainly divorced by now]
I have labial adhesion that I cannot get resolved is there any facility or physician you could recommend to get this addressed? I live in Pittsburgh.. I've been to 2 gyns who advised estrogen cream to no avail
The LASER IS CRAP!!!! I had it done, spent all that money & less than 6 months later . . . BACK AT SQUARE ONE.
Touchups are needed annually. You may be someone who needs touchups sooner. The vaginal walls return to baseline after a while without intervention. There is no permanent solution for atrophy.
@ChristiMDHouston I'd rather spend the money on a vacation. At least I'll have pleasant time & memories.
I have used olive oil and coconut oil for lub for years!
Do you have a specific type or brand you can recommend?
@@candysmith8724 Organic!
I am a breast cancer survivor and my gyn suggested coconut oil vaginally daily to keep tissues supple.
I’m 68 and was using Estragyn and had to stop because of bloating, enlarged / painful breasts, depression etc. plus it did not seem to work at all as my wall was still atrophied . And I was using Repagyn as well. I have bladder and rectal prolapses that are not helping matters. I am going to try Repagyn again but that did not seem to work as well. I was seeing a pelvic physiotherapist and stopped for a while. I also tried other Estragen products that made me feel worse. If you have any other suggestions that would help I would appreciate it. Thank you
What is repagy? I have all this going on at 59…
@@suzieshreve4464 Repagyn is a hormone free vaginal suppositories (moisturizer)
I used the brand Vagifem for years, sourcing it for an affordable price overseas. The possibility of buying it online dried up early in 2017 (draw your own conclusions). I felt desperate. I ordered Vitamin E suppositories for the vagina--but by 2020 I experienced some desperate symptoms, indicative of cystocele (bladder prolapse). On a Facebook forum, I learned that doctors in the UK prescribed Estriol to women before surgery in order to tone up/strengthen their vaginal walls. I was able to source this cream online. My symptoms disappeared. Ladies, we need estrogen. Get it, get it, get it.
I’ve tried many of the lubricants since going through menopause 10 yrs. ago. They all cause an intense burning sensation.

Have you tried coconut oil? I find it really helps, no issues with reaction.
@@leannefrances8243 I love that product. It is the best lubricant I have used.
Unfortunately, this did not work for me at all . I don't understand why people recommend lubricants, they do nothing for atrophy.
This is a wonderful and informative video, and I have a question for you doctor...I don’t know that you’re able to respond, but I thought to try regardless........Estrace cream literally has saved my life, both vaginal and genitourinary issues so severe, I am 67, and my issues became debilitating physically, repeated UTI’s, total atrophy and pain, bleeding etc..with the addition of emotional issues as a result of. That said, my “god sent” estrace cream is now between $179-$369 per tube! There is no way I can continue to afford it on my fixed income! I have called pharmacies for guidance and help to no avail, claiming my insurance won’t cover it! ( I now reside in Lakeside, Mt.)....To add, I was one of the participants in the 2015-16 study for this cream in San Diego which is where I learned just how miraculous this hormone cream is.....My PA in San Diego gave me scripts and via my Ca. Medical/Medicaid.. I basically got my cream for nothing.....now to go from that to $300! .,....I am at a loss for what to do....I will run out of my last tube in early June....I also wanted to add, Premarin cream, and estrace oral tabs effect me much differently..,I react with headaches and flushing, dizziness and nausea......The estrace cream is my 100% go to that has been a life savor. ...,,,The UTI’s have basically subsided and my vaginal health has improved 10 fold.......If you or anyone else had suggestions pls feel free to let me know.....thank you.
I get a generic form of estrogen cream, which is the same as Estrace. It made it possible for me to continue to have intimacy and less yeast infections. It’s called estradiol 0.01%
Also it’s otc in Israel So it doesn’t need a doctor prescription .I am very happy
Did you find a solution?
ty for sharing
Your doctor can simply prescribe *generic* vaginal estradiol cream 0.01% in place of the name brand Estrace. It’s the same drug! Manufacturers such as Mylan and Teva make the generic cream, which is commonly available through pharmacies. Doctors prescribe the generic every day because it’s much cheaper than Estrace!
I had total radical hysterectomy age 27 after 3 horrible c section butchering jobs. Have been on estra gel. Shame stupid general doc at emerg tried to do an episiotomy he cut right at vag to anus age 18. Ruined my sex life so painful ever since. He also yanked placenta left me hemorrhage had to have d &c I was just a scared young girl. Am 60 now no pleasure to speak of. Was ruined so young.
OMG that's awful...
I tried that cream, hated it and it did absolutely nothing for me. Had my first Mona Lisa Touch treatment and it was AMAZING. I will say that if you are super dry down there it does hurt a bit. Or it did for me. 🤷🏻♀️Nothing terrible and it wasn’t a big deal to me. My dr worked on me for 20 min the first time. She says she does a double dose the first time so you feel better a lot more quickly. Have to say that worked and I was glad I put up with the 20 mins.
Diana how many treatments did you need?
Moonwvr 7 this is a three treatment package deal. It’s pricey. Where I live it’s $1800. I’m getting the third treatment tomorrow. It’s changed my life. No more horrible pain! She says you need a follow up treatment every year and that’s $400. For me it’s worth every penny. I was much better after the 1st treatment.

How long does Thermiva and the Mona Lisa last?
Usually about one year to the next touch up
Thank you for talking about this subject. I found it very helpful.
My question??? Why can't America just stick to try eating a healthy diet ?? Eat more fruits and vegetables that contain alot of water because as we women get older that's what we're going to need. We don't need to be on any prescription medications for so many conditions including women's issues. We need to work out all our conditions by eating healthy
Agree!
Wouldn't it be nice if you could cure everything by eating healthy. Too bad it's not true. Please everyone, if you have a medical problem go see a doctor. Self medicating can be useless or even dangerous. Some things cannot be cured with diet and meantime you'll keep getting worse. Waiting to see a doctor too long about some things can cause lasting harm. Sure, eat healthy too but that doesn't mean you can't have medical help when you need it.
Is Mona Lisa totally safe? My dr wants to try me on estrogen cream first but says it’s severe. I prefer to do the laser.
Every medicine has good effects and bad too. But for what purpose you want? Always try first natural ways which are safe. Can you come to Google hangout grtbloom@gmail.com or Skype for discussion

All these options are a "stab" in the dark. Why not use something safe and effective. Homeopathics can be used at home. I have de-aged with them for over 20 years. Ask for Mohr, Provider @ the Wellness Center.
Thank you I have pretty much given up hope.not just intercourse but just having any intimacy with my beautiful wife of 23 years. That is what I miss the most.For b the past two years we barely touch one another. Recently I suffered a stroke and thought that this is the end I will never be able to physically love my love again and that thought alone almost destroyed me. But that fear became the reason to fight back and now doctor you have given me real hope again. Thank you so much.
Tried the estrogen cream…Dr. told me there would be no side effects. Within a couple of days I was experiencing hot flashes. I guess everyone is different. ( Went through menopause early.. breezed through it…totally done at 41. Was quite happy about that 😊. ). I just rely on OTC lubricants and it works.
Can you share which ones?
@Blue Razz what still works for me is the "Good Love" vaginally gel, you can find it in Amazon. And Coconut oil for the vulvar area. Sometimes I put a little tea tree oil or lavender oil on my coconut oil. Works like a charm!! Hope it helps!!🙏
@@bellenatural54 Yes, I use the coconut oil and even up vag a little e too. Works good, just wish the lubrication would last longer. Thanks for comment..
The very next day I started spotting. My doctor didn’t even tell me it was estrogen. When you spot you’re supposed to call your doctor right away. I just stopped using it. I am liking what I am reading about coconut oil.
My wife is 58 and battling this. We tried to get the doctor to give her some estrogen suppositories and we did our research on that, they absolutely do not cause cancer and the doctor would not give them to us because they said it could cause cancer. I don’t understand how their knowledge could be that bad.
The ignorance is very prevalent, unfortunately. Find another doctor or explore the new online options to receive estrogen suppositories in the mail!

near the end, she said coconut oil or olive oil was fine to use
@@cheryl9339 She said coconut oil or olive oil were fine to use as lubricants (before sexual penetration)
Gelatine take a table spoon every day in your favourite drink
Drs. Lol
im 17 and while looking up my symptoms these videos are targeted to older women. which is fine but i feel out of place. should i just go to a gyno? i haven’t gone to one before but this has been stressing me out for months and i feel super insecure about it. my problems aren’t pertaining to sex bc i am not active; but just all the time im super dry only externally.
Don't feel embarrassed, I've been dealing with thus problem all my life as well and I'm 37yrs old. It's just now being spoken about so your lucky. Replens vaginal moisturizer work well for me (you can get it at your local pharmacy) I'm thinking of getting estrogen a ring to be exact called Estring. Hopefully what I said helps sweety ❤
nevaeh I’ve dealt with it most of my life as well. So sorry to hear you also have it!
Blessed Me oh you poor thing. That sounds horrifying

@@jeanetteheyliger5015 i’m twenty now and i don’t know why i never got notifications for these replies. i’m STILL dealing with this, i’ve come up with temporary remedies but i will 100% be buying that moisturizer! had my first gyno appointment this year but mine was so mean and made the appointment so short! thanks for being so sweet.
She didn’t mention that olive oil and coconut oil will break a condom so consider that if you plan on using them.
True!
Is there an internal daily moisturizer that relieves the pain from vaginal atrophy that doesn’t break a condom?
Lubricants (like KY, etc) make entry during intercourse easier but the entry is still painful for me.
Hello again. I was wandering what is better; premaring vaginal cream, Vagifem, Yuvafem or estrogen inserts?
They all work about the same. Many women don’t like using Premarin cream, however, because it is made from the urine of pregnant horses-and the method in which the urine is taken from the horses has been known to constitute animal cruelty!
Fortunately my Bartholin's glands
work really great.
Really. Really. Great.
Thanks for your concern.
Such helpful info Dr. Christi! I had no idea there were so many options. After 3 kiddos it's comforting to know there are so many options. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Hopefully you won't need surgery!

I agree men get rich exploiting women
Thank so much for the info. my friend had the Mona Lisa T and thrilled with it !!
My gyn prescribed estrogen cream. In NJ it cost $450!!! And not covered by insurance. I buy it from Canada for $75. One tube lasts a few months. I’m going to try the coconut oil.
Men get wealthy off all females issues
Not if you don't want them too
I do not want to put anything with estrogen in my body
Do these work for lichen stenosis? Do you know anything that helps LS?
This gives me a little hope!
Coconut oil is ALL NATURAL with no chemicals.
Trust me that is not a solution for most women.
