any help for vaginal dryness?

[Hopeful]

My surgeon is willing to write scrips for me for both Estrace cream and Vagifem tablets, which are inserted into the vagina and then release low levels of estrogen. Many of us are embarassed or uncomfortable talking to our cancer docs about this problem, but I encourage you to speak up, as the doctors are unlikely to ever ask you about this symptom and won't know unless you tell them. As Becky said, there are over the counter products that can be tried as well as prescription drugs. My vaginal atrophy at one point was so severe, my gynecologist was not sure she could collect enough cervical cells for a pap smear. She has told me that waiting will only make it worse - it is a condition you need to get ahead of. The topical estrogens made a big difference for me. I hope you are able to find a solution that will bring you relief.
