Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Symptoms of low estrogen Low estrogen starves genitourinary tissues, leading to fragility, dryness and reduced resistance to infection. This would show up as pain or even bleeding with intercourse, excessive vaginal tightness, failure of vaginal incisions to heal, vaginal or labial itching and pain (especially upon washing with soaps), multiple vaginal infections like yeast or repeated urinary tract infections, sensations of urinary tract infection without bacterial growth, and weakening of genitourinary tissues leading to incontinence (involuntary leaking of urine, especially with “urge,” laughing or sneezing) or prolapse (“falling”). Women complaining of dyspareunia and a scant, watery discharge (may be blood tinged) may be experiencing atrophic vaginitis. Using pH paper, test the vaginal environment. A finding of 6.0 to 7.0 in the absence of other infection is a sign of poor estrogen support and atrophic vaginitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
