DEE/estosterone - sore preinium area

[Guest guest]

Thanks Dee – you have so much knowledge – although it doesn’t

help my situation – I enjoy reading what you have to say on different vulvar

subjects.

Just a general question – in case anyone is reading this – does anyone

have any suggestion on what is the best thing to use for pain, but no outward

sore appearances on the perineum area?

HI nne,

I don't think the T. takes away pain.. to be

honest with you none of the hormone meds really do that (the E or T) but

both help get the tissue healthier, give it back it's elasticity, helps those

cuts, splits, tears, fissures etc... and so there eventually

is no or less pain. Mainly the T helps restore lost or

deficient E 'receptors' in the genital skin so they can work again

and do their job.

But I think you're asking if the skin looks

healthy and completely normal etc.. would the E & T work?

Who knows? I would suspect that is more the case with those who have the

radiating pain say from pelvic floor dysfunctions, not to where there is actual

tissue damage. That's my guess though.

Although I do know Dr. Vliet says that the estrogen helps

those pain receptors to feel less pain too... so maybe it'd help, but I

honestly don't know if the tissue is really good & healthy to begin

with if it would or not.

But I know too that it's easy to 'look' or appear

normal, like the time my doctor said I 'looked' fine and tried to make me think

it was in my head. *GROAN* ... but when I got home & sat on the floor

with the bare bulbed lamp, a flashlight, and strong magnifying mirror (and my

leg wrapped around my neck and me rolling over, LOL) then I could visibly see

the gazillion of tiny razor cut slits as tho it had split apart in the skin but

to the naked eye there was nothing you could see. That's when I went

back to him and told him to pull over his colposcope and have a good look, and

sure enough 'then' he could see it and apologized. *sigh* With me the 'issue

was the tissue'

Hugs

Dee – Does the

“T” take away pain if the tissues look normal? Or is it just to help heal

vaginal tissues?

HI

Snailsgal...

SO

glad you were able to get the Testosterone hon.... usually it comes in an

ointment form as standard procedure...called Testosterone propionate 2%,

and the 2% strength is the typical too.

T.

has to be compounded so the pharmacist if they are good can use a variety

of bases... like Pete at Bellevue uses the Liquigel as his base. Some

might use the Emu oil too and like Hollis said Pete keeps it in his

stock of standard supplies now to use because of her. *smile*...

It

should really help as it restores the E (estradiol) ''receptors'' which often

are defunct or deficient...AND used 'along with' the Estrace or compounded

estradiol. It should really help hon. The two work so well together

in a synergistic relationship .

I

only used the T 'topically' and just a small peasize, approx 3 X's a week to

the E. cream once a night. In other words on the 3rd night I'd add the T

right on top and massage both in. (that gentle massaging in for

both is so important so don't forget that). It took a while but when I

added the T. (previously I only tried the E alone for 4 months) but adding

the T was the icing on the cake & put 'me' over the edge to full

wellness hon.

Good

luck and hang in there hon. I think and hope you're on your way...

*big smile* Also just to say that once you are better and doing great... a

maintenance should be continued.. Mine is both E & T twice a week ...

sometimes once a week and it definitely has kept me well now for years.

Hugs

Dee
