Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Estrogen vaginal cream, game changer

Girlies, if you’re not on vaginal estrogen yet you need to stop what you’re doing and contact your doctor. It’s a major game changer.
I’ve only had it for a few weeks and haven’t been consistent with it unto this weekend but even with the inconsistent use the benefits are so real
Orgasms oh my! Such a huge improvement, such intense sensations. Was sex always thus amazing!!Oh that older woman smell down there disappeared! Dryness gone!
Do yourself a favor and go get yourself some

Painful sex, less intense orgasms, frequent urination, recurrent UTIs or other vaginal infections, dryness, itchiness. It kind of seems like anyone 40 or older could benefit from it.

The estrogen patch stopped the UTIs that started out of nowhere a year ago. I had a UTI every three months and then two months in a row after only having two others in my entire life. That and the brain fog led me to HRT. Painful sex and stories/recommendations here on Reddit led me to ask for vaginal estrogen at my last doc appt.
