Hi, I am new here. I am 58 yrs old & starting having problems with atrophic vaginitis 1 1/2 yrs ago, but did not know it until I googled symptoms just last week. I had pain during sex & light bleeding. About 1 week ago I started bleeding a little with the pressure of sitting on the toilet, so I thought I wonder if I have a infection. Trying to cure my self I used yoghurt 1 week twice daily inserted. Then I tried coconut oil with garlic juice from 1 clove of pressed garlic for 2 days. On the 3rd & 4th day I added some clove oil drops to the coconut oil mix. I started bleeding a bit more & started feeling more sore, so I stopped that & only used coconut oil the last 2 days & last night I passed a blood clot so got scared. I am only using coconut oil & today I have only had a few drops blood all day. Also I feel the soreness is better in vagina. I just have no clue if its normal to bleed if you have inflamed atrophic vaginitis other than after having sex. If anyone can help by any info please help me.
Hi Darline, please go see your doctor. Bleeding may be a result of soreness but more like you have an infection & you must get that checked by a doctor. You may need anti biotics.
AV is more like soreness, irritation with thrush/ cystitis/ piles type irritations. In the end you realise it's none of those it is all to do with our age & our vagina changing, very sensitive skin which can tear. My sister did bleed due to tearing inside due to the thinning skin inside her vag. You may need some hormone cream to help you like Vagifem but you get that from the doctor, then try some lubricants as well, like K-Y. I'm trying that first. But first that bleeding needs sorting out. Good luck & keep us posted.
Hi Darlene
yes yes get checked, like miss monty says you could have an infection, it time to get checked with out delay, put you mind at rest..
i dont know where you are in menopause etc, whether you take anything for it, when you had last period, so we cannot help with the info you have given..
but best advice is get checked ..stop the coconut, yoghurt, garlic,... let your vagina have a rest from all that...
good luck hun

Hi darlene I have these symptoms but no bleeding get that checked out it could be thinning skin and dryness and you have used a lot if stuff. Stop using anything soak your self in a lavender and tea tree oil bath tea tree is an antiseptic used in hospitals and lavender soothes. Ten drops of each in bath. Order some femidophillis by Jarrow off amazon take two a day to start with keep in fridge. This made my soreness and dry much much better in four days. See if that works and then if still dry try replens or sylk or yes they are all creams to relieve dryness. Hope this helps.

Thanks Jay, Imhave only just found this site and have found your posting so helpful!!
Hi Darlene
poor you, it sounds awful.
I have AV and only have a bleed sometimes after sex if there isa little rip of the thin skin.
Hi Jay i am going to order some too thank you for your amazing detailed info. I had read about these and was confused as to whether i should try the premeno or hyalofemme and you definately helped make my mind up for me.
hi jackie
the premeno duo ovules are really soothing, use at bedtime so they work while resting..
you can split them too ( cut in half while still in the sealed wrap) or they crumble, i found half enough for me .. two or three times a week ..

Hi Darlenepoor.
just rereading your discussion. How are your symptoms now?
Hi - Im new to this discussion but thought you might like to know that I started using Premeno ovules about 2 months ago and can say that they have relieved my symptoms of vaginal atrophy almost completely! Having been seen by a consultant who just said my symptoms were quite common and nothing to worry about - easy for her to say! - I was put on HRT for 3 months with no relief. I was still bleeding after very painful sex to the point that we chose not to have full intercourse. I happened upon this discussion and decided to try the Premono ovules. I would definitely recommend them. Hormone free - very natural although sometimes a bit messy - a small price to pay for the relief of symptoms. Worth a try - what you got to lose? My GP said she could not see anything harmful in them and wants me to report back on results.
Hi Liz
thats great..
i am the one that tells people about them and i found them very good, as they are an ovule and seem to be more soothing in this form..
and not messy like cream
So pleased they help you

First of all I would never insert crazy things vaginally if I was bleeding. Go to the doctor to see what your ailment is!!
I started suffering from atrphic vaginitis some while ago but only realised what ot was when I went on this site! I was suffering from pain during intercourse and was so tight full penetration was impossible. I have been prescribed Estriol cream and had to insert every night for two weeks then every two days after that. Doctor said to use almond oil around the opening of the vagina. Things are a liitle better but not back to normal by any means. I am perservering. I did see occassional bleeding after intercourse but this seemed to be more from a tear or bruising on the walls of the vagina and was never seen any other time. See you doctor. Hope all goes well.
Hi Lynnne
i have VA ( dryness) post meno no HRT
Gyno said same to me, Ovestin vag Ovules ( estriol) i dont use nightly, i cut the ovule in half and use half twice a week ..
also i have ovestin cream and was told to use this on outer bits aswell especially vag entrance as skin thins and can split .. Ooooch.
been using since Sept last year and and great.. Also i have used Premeno Duo ( none HRT) vaginal Ovules.. From stress no more UK ..
if want to cut ovules in half do it while in the seal wrapper with sharp knife or they crumble, they are very soothing and not messy like cream..
cream i use just for outer bits twice a week aswell.
Vag estriol helps with that bladder urethra sting dryness too..
they are very good too..
good luck hun
