The Entrance To My Urethra Appears To Be Swollen
The entrance to my urethra (the meatus) appears to be swollen, red & inflammed The entrance to my urethra (the meatus) appears to be swollen, red & inflammed and I constantly have the urge to urinate. In fact my entire vaginal area is burning. I have been diagnosed with vaginal atrophy and have used premarin, estrace, vagifem, compounded estriol and have a bad reaction to all of them as well as over the counter moisturizers made to be used in the vagina. The urologists say I have overactive bladder, but I am not sure about that. I have tried all of the medications for OAB. Vesicare, Detrol, etc. They make me stop urinating altogether. I am scared to take them because when I do my bladder feels like it will explode. I am 70 yr old female with no hope for the future. Can anyone help?

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
After using so many medicines, you are definitely fed up of all the treatments. So, i will suggest you to use only a combination of antimicrobial and steroid cream locally on the urethral meatus. this might help you.
