His and Her Health

I have been diagnosed with atrophic vaginitis and was wondering how long it takes to get better for the itching to go away. I am using premarin cream internally and also take premarin .045mgs once a day. The itching is only on the outside and also on my upper legs near the vagina. I am in menapause and I am 54 years old I had a total hysta about 10years ago.

Atrophic vaginitis does not usually cause itching, nor does it cause itching on the thighs and outer vulva. I would consider consulting a vulvar specialist or dermatologist to evaluate for other causes of your itching.<P><BR>QUOTE]Originally posted by cookie49:<BR><B>I have been diagnosed with atrophic vaginitis and was wondering how long it takes to get better for the itching to go away.

Thank you for your reply the itching is now relieved from using premarin cream vaginally.
