Due to low thyroid, post menopause, I have vaginal dryness and sometimes I itch terribly! My doctor wanted to give me estrogen cream but I was reluctant to use due to Breast Cancer in my family! I’ve been using vulva harmony but I’m afraid I need something more powerful! What I’m asking is does anyone have a cure or should I go ahead with the estrogen due to the itch? Any help would be gratefully accepted! Thank you!

Have a google, but I didn’t think vaginal oestrogen cream adversely affected the rest of the body, unlike hrt.
I had DCIS but my private endo said that bioidentical hormones were fine. Vagifem (which the NHS can prescribe) is a bioidentical estradiol pessary.
I use vagifem; it helps with symptoms. The actual dose of oestrogen is negligible in the less art form. Thus, deemed safe.
Sorry I'm not sure. Maybe you could ask a pharmacist to order or Google search?
By the way, my previous post... 'art form'???? Lol... should have said pessary form! And, I should have spell checked! Sorry.
Good luck.!
