She decided not to take it, for all the risks involved with hormonal treatments. Have anyone faced any similar situation? Luckily we found other treatment for her promlems, but still as a mother I am feeling odd about the whole situation, how easily these risky drugs are passed to youngsters? I am glad that my daughter talked with me about it, she also got alarmed when she red the long list of side effects, and did not start using it though! | F | 15 | 0 days 10 1X day | 9/15/2022 | 1 | Endometriosis - Painful Sex | Awful. I lost approximately 40% of my hair in 11 days of taking this. I’m devastated. | I will never let that stuff near my body again. | F | 25 | 11 days 10 | 9/7/2019 | 2 | Prolapse | Wind, bloating, mood swings, depression | F | 30 | 2 months | 3/3/2014 | 4 | Vaginal burning and painful sex | None | I had hysterectomy 4 years ago and have been taking premarin oral tablets but was still getting vaginal burning and painful sex. My dr put me on vagifem aswell and they helped alot. I was taken off vagifem after 6 month and was ok for a while but problem started up again so recently gone back on them. | F | 35 | 6 months 10mg | 9/29/2015 | 5 | vaginal pain | breast tenderness | Completely eliminated vaginal pain with intercourse. Scaled back to 1 per week recently and pain came back, so I'm sticking with 2 per week. Had a mammogram for the breast tenderness and all was normal. It's totally worth it since I have my sex life back. | F | 39 | 9 months 10 mcg 2X W | 4/16/2015 | 3 | Vaginal atrophy | Mood swings hot flushes hair thinning discharge sticky and thick | Not sure whether to stop this as hair has thinned rapidly last 4 weeks texture changed very dry and scalp flaky but I guess improved sex a bit | F | 39 | 6 weeks 12 | 11/29/2018 | 1 | Vagina irritation due to medication | Since I've used vagifem I have terrible urethra burning and constant urge to urinate, been off it for three days and my symptoms are getting worse | I will not recommend this product to anyone | F | 39 | 14 days 10 | 5/28/2017 | 3 | Vaginal dryness | Heavy bleeding, back ache, tummy ache, diarrhea, sore boobs, weight loss | Not had a period for 18 years because of early onset menopause due too a bone marrow transplant. I've had two heavy periods since using vagifem for vaginal dryness. tummy cramps quite uncomfortable, diarrhea seems to be settling. Vagina feels lost mor comfortable just weighing up the side effects (hoping they will settle) before I decide to continue use. | F | 40 | 5 weeks 10mg | 12/7/2019 | 3 | vaginal atrophy | This medicine helped increase secretions to clear vaginal atrophy. Side effects of swollen breats and abdomen, migraines and depression. | Easy to use and no mess in vaginal suppository pill form | M | 42 | 85 days | 8/8/2006 | 1 | Scar tissue on my cervics | Extremely bad migraines and itchy lumps on the sides of my upper body so would not recommend if your prone to headaches...and all stopped when I stopped using tablet | F | 42 | 4 weeks 10mg | 10/19/2014 | 1 | thinning vaginal wall | Constant nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, increased blood pressure, ringing in ears, over all feeling like a contant bad flu, severe anxiety, massive bloating | This med is my last chance before having to go through with another surgery so I had to use it. Cannot wait to be done with it and will never ever use it again! If it hasn't done it's intended job of thickening the vaginal walls, I will live in pain before I take anymore of this poison. | F | 42 | 10 days 10 mcg | 7/21/2016 | 5 | Menopause - vaginal dryness | Some hair loss but nothing major. Some breast tenderness. I would definitely put up with some side effects because it works wonderfully. I feel like my vagina is back to the state it was when I was 19. | F | 43 | 2 months 10mcg | 3/26/2014 | 4 | vaginal dryness | Has been working wonderfully but now having vaginal bleeding. Comes and goes.....spotting one day and next day like a full blown period. | F | 44 | 6 months 10 | 3/7/2014 | 2 | POF, vaginal atrophy | Massive hair loss | After about a month of taking this, my hair started falling out in large quantities. Shedding, big clumps of hair in my comb every time I combed my hair. Otherwise it did what it was supposed to but I could not handle the hair loss and didn't want to risk the side effects of Rogaine. 3 months after stopping the Vagifem the hair loss has stopped but what's there is still very thin. Very disappointing. If anyone has suggestions on an alternative I'd love to know. | F | 44 | 3 months 25MG 1X day | 9/5/2012 |
VAGIFEM (ESTRADIOL): This medication is a female hormone (estrogen). It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. When treating only vaginal symptoms of menopause, products applied directly inside the vagina (such as this medication) should be used first. Estrogens that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected may have greater risks of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.
