Our vulvas are estrogen-dependent, and when they aren’t getting enough estrogen, a lot of uncomfortable things can start happening, including dryness and irritation, pain with sex, recurring UTIs, incontinence, anorgasmia and more. Other symptoms like vaginal thinning, loss of elasticity, and changes in vaginal pH can also lead to an increased risk of infections. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The good news? All of these symptoms can be alleviated by using vaginal estrogen, which is safe for almost any woman to use from perimenopause through post menopause, even women with special risks. Plus, it’s non-systemic, meaning it stays localized in the vaginal tissues without entering the bloodstream.
