I am actually taking the DHEA Suppository for Atrophy of the Vulva. It was prescribed by my gynecologist. At first, I was prescribed Premarin and it was horrible! Nothing but continual abdominal cramps, and itchiness & pain in the vulva area. Sex with my husband was totally OUT, and I had no quality of life. Then I was prescribed the compound DHEA, and my life turned totally around. The cramps, pain & itchiness was gone. Sex with my husband was restored, and I could look forward to a pain free future. If DHEA is taken away, I would have no choice but to go back to on artificial hormones again, and a life of misery. In all honesty, I think that death itself would be better then living a life like that. Sincerely, Susan Efant
