Hi all, I haven't been here for a while. I'm just coming g up to my 3 year mammogram. I was prescribed Yes by my gp after starting Letrozol but my problem seems to be getting worse. Are there any oestrogen free recommendations? X
Hi Youngatheart welcome to the forum. Its a horrible feeling when its like that and I can totally empathise. I saw Gynaecology as I was so sore but up inside and Ive been prescribed Hyalofemme. However if they do give you this one ask for an applicator with it as I found it so runny by the time I got near to inserting it, it had run off my finger. Ah the joys of Letrozole eh?xxxx
I use Dermol 500 twice a day as a moisturiser which works really well. For sex, Durex sensilube is the most 'realistic' we've found. We tried water based Yes, but found it too tacky.
It is miserable having this problem!
Thank you Beatthebreast
