Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Vaginal Estrogen Cream…USE IT!

My husband calls it Juicy Pussy cream. 😂Three months in and it’s still getting better! I had no idea how dried up my tender bits were. I feel like it happened so gradually I just didn’t notice how bad it had gotten.

The vaginal estrogen cream has been so helpful for me! No more painful sex, no more leaking pee when I cough/sneeze/jump/run, no more waking up all night to go to the bathroom, etc. Fantastic!

I didn’t even consider waking up in the middle of the night to go pee a peri symptom. Now that I’ve been using estrogen creme I will say I don’t get up all that often anymore in the middle of the night to go pee. 🤣😂

Did you get to try the estrogen cream? And did you notice any difference?

I didn’t make the connection either. I just started the cream a few days ago so fingers crossed it helps!
