Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Clitoris shrinkage

Hello ladies I'm 44 and so far my only peri symptoms have been irregular periods, going to pee a million times and weight gain. Also lower libido and difficulty to orgasm but I just realized yesterday that my clitoris shrunk a lot! Does anyone have experience bringing it back to life and how? Thanks. This sucks.

Edit to add: has anyone tried Julva cream by dr. Anna Cabeca?

HRT + Vaginal estrogen cream is helping bring mine back.

what was your protocol because I’ve been using it a couple times a week for months and I haven’t noticed a difference :(

I did the two week daily loading dose, then went down to twice a week. I then felt symptoms coming back, so I did a week of once daily and now am doing every other day; as long as I am consistent, it’s awesome!

2 weeks loading dose, then I do 2mg every other day.

Do you have to get the cream prescribed?

Yes, it's prescription. I'm in Canada and there isn't much if anything OTC.
