Tamoxifen side effects

Last reply: 17 September 2018 14:21

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone on Tamoxifen is experiencing severe vaginal dryness & very painful intercourse as a result of?
I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy but I'm sure this must be as a result of the Tamox. :( I've tried replens & ky lubricant but no change, it's just so cruel! Constant daily reminders :(
