Hi everyone.
Most of my side effects have eased recently. But it seems once a month it effects me down below. My goodness I'm dry and sore. Does anyone else out there experience this and if so do you use anything for it?
I've heard this effects women but am I the only man with these symptoms? I'm Thinking about speaking to my doctor as it's quite uncomfortable.

Keep battling out there!
HI 1212
I'm sorry (or happy) to say that there aren't too many men in this group, so I strongly suspect that the chance of getting help regarding your query is pretty limited. You could try Ask and Expert, Ask a Nurse section, but yes, I reckon probably best to speak to your doctor if you're uncomfortable - no point being in pain when something can be done to help, is there?
Best wishes,
Lesley
