Guest guest Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I usually offer a comfrey based cream - sometimes that alone is good. I add a little glycyrhizza tr sometimes and there is Vit E in the cream.  J Fidler, MCPP, (RH) AHG Herbalist ________________________________ To: ukherbal-list Sent: Friday, August 5, 2011 2:45 PM Subject: Vaginal dryness  I have a patient who has had an enforced drug induced menopause due to breast cancer. One of the worst symptoms she is experiencing at present is extreme vaginal dryness and therefore intercourse has become very painful. This is very upsetting obviously on top of her other health issues. Normal Lubricants just aren't working. Does anyone have any experience of the best herbal lubricants I could make her. Can't be anything oestrogen or progesterone based. Any help would be much appreciated. Jean Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi Lorraine Your cream contains trifolium and as stated my patient has a hormone based cancer and specifically does not want any potentially hormonally active herbal medicine. Thank you for the suggestion. Jean Sent from my iPad On 6 Aug 2011, at 08:21, Herbs and Helpers wrote: > Hi > Have a specially formulated 'Womens Cream' for this.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Sorry I missed this point. Some other circles I move in suggest Rose cream but I have no therapeutic experience of this. Has the link been proved about plant sterols and cancer? I thought it was still controversial especially regarding the soya issue!??!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Absolutely, but I have to respect my patient's wishes especially since she has a very aggressive oestrogen, progesterone, Her 2 receptive cancer that is spreading.
