I have vaginal dryness, my doc first prescribed metrogel for a bacterial infection which seemed to work but a few days after i was done using it the dryness came back, they then prescribed premarin cream to apply externally. Has anyone ever had this experience? I am not sexually active and cannot understand what the issue is? I am very active athletically and this issue is making me afraid to work out, its quite distressing..

Are you at an age (say, over 40) when you could be perimenopausal? Alternately, do you work out so much that you have stopped menstruating? If so, then your body doesn’t have enough hormones to keep your vagina as it is supposed to be, so it is too dry. Depending on your age, you could take birth control pills, or hormone replacement, or keep using the premarin cream. Or use an Estring, which gives you a constant dose of estrogen cream.
maybe you should see a different doctor, or don`t wear underwear to bed so your vagina can ‘breathe’ at night
