A member asked:
Just started vagifem after using estrace for a yr. my vulva is all red and irritated now....why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Examination: Vulvar redness and irritation can be sign of a yeast infection. Since this happened after starting a new vaginal medication you could be having a reaction to the medication. Allergy to vagifem after using Estrace seems less likely. An examination should be done to verify the findings and determine the next steps
