Are Estrogen Creams for Vaginal Dryness Safe?

0

One of the most common symptoms women experience during the menopausal transition is vaginal dryness. When levels of estrogen drop during menopause, vaginal tissue becomes dry and irritated – a condition known as vaginal atrophy. Some doctors treat vaginal atrophy by offering women vaginal estrogen creams. These creams are absorbed by the irritated vaginal tissue which helps to relieve the dryness, burning and discomfort women feel. Up to forty percent of women experience symptoms of vaginal dryness and atrophy at some point during and after menopause.
