Trimo-San

Body: 

This is my first contribution, and am really seeking more info. on alternative vaginal jellies to use with a pessary (which came incidentally with Trimo-San). I was given instant relief (after only two fittings) two weeks ago, of the pain, discomfort and pressure of prolapsed bladder. I have had 5 children and at my age (75) did not want to have surgery. When I contemplated a trip, and thought about additional supplies of Trimo-San I might need, I went on line and lierally stumbled on Christine's article! Horrified wasn't the word! I immediately stopped using it; I too had a cheesey discharge, which I hope will now stop. and am looking for advice on what I can now use to stay safe and comfortable and free from infection. I have printed out Christine's article and intend to take it to my gyne next week.Should be interesting to find out the medical reaction! Would anyone who has had a similar experience let me know how they solved this problem?Having heard of all the problems associated with pessaries &. getting the right fit, I am really walking on air at the relief I received.

Hi,
I too have a pessary and all I use is KY Jelly on the pessary when I insert it. It seems to be all I need. I have used a pessary for 5 years now and haven't had any problems. I am 70. Hope this helps.

Hello - Thank you so much for replying - your news is comforting and I shall pursue KY Jelly and hope that is the answer. It was just that my gyne first of all prescribed Estrace, which of course is a Estrogen cream, inserted by applicator every other night, alternately with the Trimo-San. But after using it for a week I finally had second thoughts after reading the accompanying warnings, one of which specifically warned about use in older women.When I told him I was not comfortable - he quickly acquiesced that I stop it.Which I did - leaving me with the Trimo-San which by the way came with no accompanying info! Now I am just a little nervous about the Pessary being "a foreign object" as it is described and not using anything so I am grateful to have received your info. Thanx - Jeanne
