vaginal estrogen ring

[hoosier54]

I'm 55..have not had a period in 3 years. My doctor recently perscribed Premarin cream for 2 months (for vaginal dryness) stop the cream, thenuse the estrogen ring and is inserted for 3 months at a time. Anyone have results with this, and is the inserting and removing of the ring difficult?

I just started the Ring. I was on Premarin cream. I had no trouble inserting the Ring and see no problem of removing it. I like the idea that it is not systemic. It Is just local. I love the idea that a side effect may be too much moisture..lol

Hi I am just wondering if you knew the disadvantages of premarin....this drug is from pregnant horses' urine. These farmers keep the mares in a 5X3 stalls for six months of their pregnancy; and in order to keep their urine more concentrated they dehydrate them and only allow them to drink every three days. There are many other alternatives to this drug and these drugs are equally if not more effective than premarin. I wish there was a way to tell women about the affects of these drugs before they are prescribed. These horses live to be only 8 or 9 instead of the usual 20 and the surviving foals are sent to slaughter. PLEASE HELP STOP THIS!
