Do Oestrogen Cream And Amitriptyline Help In Treating Vaginal Pain And Discomfort?

hello, I have had a recent diagnosis of vulval papillomatosis. I am experiencing pain and discomfort around the entrance to the vagina and on the inside of the labia minora. I have little skin projections that sometimes feel raw, other times not. I am a little swollen and red. Is this to be expected with VP ? Seems to be worse around the time of my periods, which are heavy and protracted (I also have a couple of fibroids). I would like your advice on treatment options. Would an oestrogen cream help topically and amitriptyline for pain ? I am currently trying emuaid cream (homeopathic) and take paracetamol/brufen for pain but I have also been prescribed naproxen and zapain if required. Thanks for any help suggested. I just want to try and get life back, very debilitating to live with at the moment.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned your age here because such symptoms may be due to age and if this is so then just wait for some time and it will be fine, and if this is the skin condition then it can be well managed with "Povidone Iodine" cream with Steroid preparation and best would be "Beclomethasone cream" hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
