Title: Progesterone helps dryness? Oestrogen creams help dryness?
Post by: boddi on November 18, 2013, 05:37:52 PM
Hi.  I've anecdotally heard that progesterone helps post-op vaginal dryness.  That seems contradictory as I always thought progesterone was closer to testosterone than oestrogen.  Surely oestrogen would help more with vaginal dryness.   Does anyone: (a) have any experience/thoughts etc on progesterone aiding dryness?  and (b) have any experience with oestrogen vaginal creams to help dryness?  There are several creams aimed at helping GGs with dryness but would/do they work in transwomen?  Any help greatly received.
