How vaginal estrogen differs from HRT
Systemic HRT treats whole-body symptoms such as hot flashes. Vaginal estrogen is a low-dose cream applied locally to treat the thinning of vaginal and urinary tissue that follows menopause. Absorption is very low, which is why it suits many women who do not want, or cannot take, systemic hormones.
Who is vaginal estrogen for?
Women with local symptoms after menopause.
- Vaginal dryness or pain with sex
- Recurrent urinary symptoms after menopause
- Women who want to avoid systemic hormones
- Women already on HRT with persistent local symptoms
