Hi all I know this is a personal topic so hope nobody will be offended by me asking
i finished chemo may 2021 am on Letrozole for the next 10 years
having intercourse with my husband has been really painful I assumed it was because I’d been fast forwarded into menopause and only recently found out that chemo can actually damage our vaginas
i don’t want to use oestrogen based but have just heard of Desiral has anybody else heard of it or had it done?
a local company is offering it as a free service to cancer patients
Great article about lubricants. Here it is https://doi.org/10.1093/jsxmed/qdad005
I am going to buy some. Right now my medical oncologist recommends Revaree vaginal suppositories which are hyaluronic acid and they help. Use about every 3-5 days. Bonafide the company that makes them. I don’t know if you can get overseas as I live in US.
