For Dyspareunia "After about 3 months of using Intrarosa, I felt I was having positive benefits with improvement of vaginal tissue. After that, I began to have terrible hot flashes (which were previously very infrequent and mild). I felt agitated and had an episode of crying that I could not control. Around 6 months of use, my blood pressure (which was never a problem) suddenly spiked to a dangerous level, and I ended up in the hospital. I discontinued using Intrarosa. Lots of tests later, and the doctors cannot say definitively that my problems were directly related to Intrarosa. I think they were, as all the symptoms have gone away, my hot flashes are back to 'normal,' and I feel like myself again. I'm now using coconut oil for lubrication, and so far, so good ;)"

For Dyspareunia "I did not have any emotional hormonal swings as I have read some women having. I am a 115-pound athletic woman but have hypertension, which has been managed. But after two weeks, my blood pressure went through the roof at nearly 200/104, with some nagging headaches, which could have been blood pressure or the medication. I do not have the headaches now, after a week or a bit longer, blood pressure went down into my normal ranges. I tried it again after three months, and the blood pressure went up again to 176/98. It is definitely, without a doubt, the Intrarosa... Stroke scares me a bit more, but not having sex, LOL. Hot flashes picked up a bit, but they are only annoying, blood pressure was serious."

For Dyspareunia "My gynecologist prescribed Intrarosa for painful sex. I am 54 years old and in perimenopause. I also have bladder leakage and urgency. Started this medication and had a problem with opening the package. Once inserted, I had an oily substance ruin my underwear. My hot flashes and night sweats got worse while using it and I began having raging and angry thoughts. I was on it for a week, but taking this was not worth how bad I felt physically. I will look for a more natural medicine."

For Dyspareunia "Fabulous! Within two weeks, this completely changed everything back to normal. This also helped hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep! I’m so thankful! 10/10. I used the manufacturer's coupon to get it to $87 per month."

For Dyspareunia "Immediately stopped using Intrarosa after 3 months and 2 weeks! I gained 14 lbs, started losing my hair on the top of my head! Had night sweats and hot flashes and felt so tired! I would take a 3-hour nap after work for nearly 2 weeks, and I did not figure out why until I stumbled upon this website! Nothing brought back what menopause had taken away from me, I told my honey that lust has given way to trust, and we are good."
