I have oestrogen receptive bc and am on Letrozole. I am suffering quite badly with vaginal dryness and discomfort. Can I safely use Replens MD?

There's a few things out there that you can try.... Sylk, Yes VM, Vagifem, Hyalo... talk to your oncologist or gp, see if you can get something on prescription. Even if you're oestrogen receptive I think you can use vaginal oestrogen as it stays local so Replens should be okay. Years ago they said to not use it but information has since been updated to say its safe. If you're still under the care of a breast cancer nurse, phone and ask for advice x
Thank you. It does say that Replens is oestrogen free. Is it not? Xx
Hi
I have the same breast cancer as you and have been using replens as prescribed by the hospital breast team and I have found I need to use it every day to keep things under control it does work for m I am so sorry you are suffering the affects of the treatment
Thank you. I will get in touch with my breast care nurse tomorrow xx
Hello and thank you for your post.
Although Replens, does not contain hormones it may be ok to use. However, we are unable to give you the go-ahead to use it, so do check it out with your breast cancer nurse.
Take care
