I posted on here a while ago that I had been diagnosed with vaginal dryness.Now have a vaginal HRT cream which has been brilliant no pain etc.However after sex the other day I noticed a couple of pink streaks when I wiped. It was very faint and only on the paper.

I had a scan etc when I was first diagnosed with the viginal dryness so just wonderingif any one else has had this and should I worry.

Thank you for any help

🙂This information is available online..if you need peace of mind…don’t hesitate to speak to your GP.

Vaginal oestrogen is a local HRT. This means it's only used to treat menopause symptoms such as vaginal dryness and irritation. Common early side effects include headache, abdominal or vaginal pain and bleeding but these normally improve in the first few months of treatment.
