Question 1

i had a grayish discharge after intercourse. i just ended my period monday and have been using replens for vaginal dryness as instructed by my gyno.

Accepted Answer

May need testing: Is there any odor associated with it? If there's a fishy odor may be an bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics. Another possibility may be a parasitic infection that can also be treated with antibiotics.
There are other explanations as well, such as a mix of Replens with lubricant or semen.
The best way to tell is with additional testing of the discharge.

Question 2

can replens cause yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal candida: This vaginal moisturizer will not cause yeast infection, but by altering the acidity and other features of the normal vaginal tissues it may potentially increase the likelihood that yeasts (candida albicans) may grow out.

Question 3

can the use of replens cause bladder infections?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: This vaginal lubricant should not generally result in uti.

Question 4

can replens cause cystitis-type symptoms or bladder spasms ( urine culture is negative)?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Disregarding  the wonderful side effect profile of a drug, you should stop using Replens now; then, wait and see if the described symptoms are tolerable to you and you're getting better slowly but surely day by day. If not resolved as wished and expected, see Doc timely for evaluation, confirmation, and counseling for the future.

Question 5

can you use replens long lasting moisturizer before sex and if so will it cause an irritation or infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can: I wouldn't put it in just before intercourse is started as it will be messier then usual and for "dining out" events, it wont taste very good. Thus use Replens at least 24 hours ahead to allow absorption to occur.

Question 6

can replens cause a strong vaginal odor and strong urine smell?

Accepted Answer

Possible but...: Any chemical may carry its unique odor after mixing with natural vaginal fluid which even varies among individuals; it's of no exception for replens. So, to verify your concern, it's no harm to smell the area with using it or with using simple KY jelly or without using it so you can smell the difference and draw a conclusion.

Best wishes...

Question 7

can replens be used in conjunction with femring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but alternate: Replens is designed to replenish vaginal moisture over time and works differently then Femring which replaces the estrogen of the vaginal lining. If you are using Replens for one week or more, then stop it when the Femring is put inside the vagina. I applaud you for trying to do something for "dry" or painful intercourse rather than cessation of sexual activity.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Very Effective: Replens is a vaginal lubricant that is very safe & effective to make sex less painful.
Lubricate & stimulate makes intercourse
more enjoyable.
