I am a healthy 55 year-old menopausal woman who started taking Vagifem in May 2007. By early July 2007, I experienced my first gallbladder attack. Both Ultrasound and CCK Gallbladder Ejection Fraction (70%) were normal, but I continued to experience gallbladder symptoms (nausea and right upper quadrant tenderness but no pain). My gastroenterologist and GI surgeon recommended gallbladder removal.
Neither my doctors nor I have linked Vagifem to these symptoms. I am thankful to have access to this website and learn that Vagifem may be the cause. My plan is to stop Vagifem altogether and note any improvement in my GI symptoms.
