Hi Eva, If you are uncomfortable about it, there are other options that are truly naturally like olive oil or coconut oil. Hope that helps! Maureen

Hi Judy, Repagyn takes about 2-3 months to optimize when taken as directed, however many women start to feel better after a few weeks. It is different for every woman. If after a few weeks you try to have intercourse and it is still painful, then wait a few more weeks. You might also add a lubricant. Hope that helps. Maureen

Hi Erica, There are a number of hormone-free options: Repagyn is a suppository and Gynatrof is a gel. Use them 2-3 times per week after taking daily for one week. These are over the counter options available at the pharmacy without a prescription. You may also try coconut oil. All the best, Maureen

I have suffered from vaginal dryness for two years and just started taking Repagyn. Just wondering if there is a certain time frame before resuming intercourse.

Hi, I am on Revlimid Maintenance for Multiple Myeloma, had a stemcell transplant 3 years ago and am 60 years young. The last year I have problems with vaginal dryness due to the Revlimid treatment (low dose chemo). I don't dare to take any type of hormone treatment because of the cancer but the dryness has gotten to the point that I don't want to have intercourse with my husband anymore because of the pain. Do you have any suggestions?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maureen,
I'm 49 years old in full menapause. I don't like to take any medications and like to try and do things more naturally. Breast cancer runs in the family. The hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal pain is very uncomfortable. I started on vitex and told it likely won't help and was suggested I also take repogyn. The BHT ingredient concerns me as it raises a moderate red flag according to the health organization.
What are your thoughts about it

It is available in the US but I believe it is marketed under a different name. I will get back to you on that. Yes, it's a great product for women.

It is low dose and so low that it usually doesn't cross over. That said, anything is possible and nothing is guaranteed side effect free. Thank you for your email. Appreciate it. Maureen

There is no oral Repagyn. It is a vaginal suppository. Thank you, Maureen

You make some great points. Thank you for your feedback. Gynatrof is scent-free. Gynatrof is an all natural hormone-free gel that is approved by HC for the treatment of vaginal dryness. Best regards, Maureen
