    It has worked for me. I thought I was going to be miserable the rest of my life. It has made having sex so much better, less painful and no more OTC lubricates. Published: March 04, 2008 ::

    For years I have had extreme dryness in the vaginal area due to hysterectomy have tried other injectables that were messy etc.. but this ring has seemingly made the tissue in that area more healthy and helped with the dryness. Although I seem to have attained a bigger middle, weight has stayed around the same but the waistline is bigger. Do you think that is because of Estring? Published: May 14, 2008 ::

    I have experienced no side effects at all that I can identify. I do occasionally have to push the ring back into position, but all in all, it seems to have helped somewhat with bringing elasticity back, but no 100%. Published: May 19, 2008 ::

    I used this for 4 months for vaginal atrophy, while it did correct that problem it caused others, it caused bowal inflammation and vaginal inflammation. It was as if my body was rejecting it. My abdominal and back pain was so bad I had to take it out. Toxic shock syndrome can be, all be it rare, an end result of this. The theory and convenince is good but I can't see how anything foreign can stay in your body all the time without causing problems, especially in moist tissue. I would not use this product again.

    My doctor suggested this after my complaints of vaginal dryness. I do have a vaginal discharge that I interpret as my vagina is "alive" again. Still use personal lubricants, but body tissue is more comfortable. Very easy to use with no awareness of its presence. Published: July 25, 2009 ::

    Comment from: bowler27, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 5-10 years (Patient)

    I have used this ring for 7 years. I wanted to stop twice and after taking it out, 2 days later I experienced estrogen dropping, confusion, headache, stomach ache and a complete feeling of doom and gloom. My doctor told me she never heard of anyone having these symptoms, but I have to put it back in two separate occassions because I felt the estrogen drop and it was a nightmare. Don't know how I will ever get off of HRT. What a nightmare. Published: November 05, 2008 ::
