For Dyspareunia "I'm 55 and started Intrarosa, and before that, had been on Yuvfem tabs for severe atrophy and painful sex. Back in Nov 2017 - Feb 2018, I was miserable with CONSTANT UTIs from so much discharge. I was constantly at the gyno and urologist, who said, 'It is your vagina reacting to the Intrarosa.' I was on Yuvfem for 6 months prior and had no issues. Intrarosa just leaks out, IRRITATES my bladder. I stopped in Feb. And, because the Yuvfem is not fully taking care of my severe atrophy, I decided to try the Mona Lisa Laser treatment (vaginal laser treatment), but it ended up a nightmare. The laser was set too high for my thin vaginal walls and burnt a hole through my vaginal wall. I ended up hemorrhaging and bled profusely for 7 hours straight in the hospital while they tried to figure it out. After that, they plugged up the hole in my vaginal wall with something like a Band-Aid. I found it would not heal after 6 weeks and needed minor surgery under general anesthesia to recut the lesion and resew back healthy tissue. I'm back to square one using Yuvfem twice a week and still have issues."

For Dyspareunia "First night taking Intrarosa, I experienced insomnia, then abdominal cramping around 3 or 4 a.m. Thought maybe I had a stomach flu, but felt better later in the morning. Second night, insomnia again, and woke up at 4 a.m. with severe abdominal cramps… like I was in labor. Pain was so intense I considered going to the hospital, but got better later in the morning. Also had some mild bleeding and decided this was definitely not for me. Stopped taking this, and symptoms went away. Didn’t see any of these symptoms listed as side effects of this drug, but was relieved to see others on this thread experienced the same. Also, expensive."

For Dyspareunia "I have had bad luck using other hormone treatments. They tend to cause some pretty bad PMS symptoms, migraines, bleeding, and a high level of agitation. This was supposed to not do that. I tried one dose and already have the lousy headache (I only get this sort of headache when dealing with these hormonal medications or with PMS back in the day.) Maybe I just do not tolerate hormone-type medications, but the cure is much worse than the original problem. I will learn to live with my aging body."

For Dyspareunia "I felt cramping, itchy, and burning the next day after use. Made me bleed a little, also not for me."
