Premarin Cream or Estrogen Cream - Menopause Message Board

I have had some major problems with the fact that I am menopausal. I am extremely dry down there and my urethra is very sensitive. I was told that when you go through menopause that you lose collagen in these area's. Being with my husband is very painful and makes me bleed. Plus I just flat out hurt there.

The GYN gave me Premarin which is estrogen cream that I insert every night before bed. She instructed me to also rub some into the urethra opening. I have used this every night since Wednesday. However, yesterday I found I have pain in my lower stomach. Can't tell if the pain is coming from my uterus or bladder. No pain to urinate but I hurt more when I have to go. So I got some over the counter Azo and this did help ease off the pain.

I really need this medication and I am wondering if I just stick it out for the 14 days and see if it makes a big difference. This morning I am only achy. Has anyone else had this side effect from this.

I am having the exact same problem and am trying to find out what to do. I would be interested to see if thie premerin cream helps you. I am desperate!

I am thinkin you just might coincidentally have a bladder infection and need to take a urine sample to the doctors. You will need an antibiotic to clear it up.

Oh I hope you are correct.

I have blood in my urine. So it must not be this cream but a coincidence.
