| 2 | vagina atrophy,painful sex | Hair loss, depression | although estring relieved the vagina atrophy, I noticed a dramatic thinning of my hair. I have been using estring for approx. 15 months. I also noticed,especially in the last 5 mos.,an increase of depression with somewhat suicidal thoughts. Nothing has changed in my life to bring me to this point. I had no reason to feel depressed at all! I recently had a form of vaginitis after getting over a terrible case of the flu. During my treatment, I stop using the estring for a week. I immidately noticed a difference in my attitude and my depressing lifted within that week. No more suicidal thoughts what-so-ever. I feel good and content...normal, how I use to feel prior to using the estring. My hair also stopped falling out as much. I started to also use a hair product from GNC website called "REVITA".

Intend to stay on this indefinitely! | F | 58 | 3 weeks | 2/9/2008 | 4 | vaginal dryness and itching | Thought I had a yeast infection that wouldn't go away. My Gyn said "No, just drying that is causing itch." I would have rated the estring a five but I have a really, really, really hard time taking it OUT. You either need long fingers or be an acrobat. That is my only complaint...except for the fear that it may one day cause cancer. | Used vagifem first...that worked well. Gyn thought Estring might be better and less of a hassle for me. | F | 57 | 1 days | 1/2/2007 | 4 | vaginal dryness and itching | Thought I had a yeast infection that wouldn't go away.

I was experiencing recurring yeast infections due to vaginal dryness. It takes a few months for the tissues to fully rehydrate, and until that happens one might feel some irritation from the ring. | F | 54 | 8 years | 12/4/2006 | 4 | vaginal atrophy and painful sex | weight gain | a little difficult at first to insert.

No more urinary symptoms, increased lubrication. It is hard to insert so I go to the doctor every 3 months so she can insert it. Well worth the money, has improved my quality of life. | F | 52 | 1 years | 9/27/2005 | 5 | vaginal discomfort | F | 62 | 9 months | 2/20/2005 | 5 | vaginal dryness and urinary urgancy | F | 54 | 90 days | 11/14/2004 | 3 | hot flashes & painful sex | weight gain | Completely relieved the hot flashes, slightly increased lubrication, but I was so uncomfortable with the weight gain & bloating that I stopped using it. | F | 51 | 32 days | 9/27/2004 | 4 | hysterectomy/vaginal atrophy | none- but have to use a patch to prime my body so that I get the best results | others complain that it is hard to insert/keep in but I love it | F | 51 | 4 years | 7/15/2004 |
