Vaginal Estrogen - Everything you need to know.

My mom is 85 years old not once have she taken any form of HRT.

[@crh251]

@@andreaphang68, my mother didn’t take any HRT either, but she broke a bone and died of dementia at 89. In my own personal case, I decided to take a different route and began using body identical hormones at the age of 57. We have estrogen receptors all over our bodies, and if I can prevent osteoporosis, heart disease or dementia, I’m all for it.

Super helpful! I have been getting recurrent UTI's for a few years and didn't know why or have a solution until my GYN prescribed topical estrogen cream a few weeks ago. SO relieved! I hate taking antibiotics and was doing it several times a year. I feel different "down there" and haven't had a UTI since! Woohoo!

For vaginal atrophy you DO need to insert (use) the applicator into the vagina. FYI. Ladies, wipe front to back with coconut oil after urinating (each time) MCT oil kill ecoli and you won't get any more UTI's. I've been doing this for 10 years (after 5 years of chronic UTI's) and I've had ZERO UTI's since using MCT fractionated coconut oil externaly (put a little on the toilet tissue) just before wiping front to back. :)

[@Yasmine1962]

Wiping front to back is the first step in preventing UTIs and adding the coconut oil is like icing on the cake!

So unfortunate that primary ovarian failure is always left out of the conversation. There are young women with these symptoms who use these treatments as well. It would be nice for POF to have more awareness among physicians and the general population so diagnosis and treatments isnt so delayed.

So the gyno suggested the pill form estrogen and I got another UTI after 3 mths …I was so disappointed but this video was helpful in understanding that it is probably due to the urethra so I definitely will use the gel form because my UTI’s are due to painful sex and vaginal atrophy… thanks will confirm results once I switch to the gel estrogen!

Hi. Thank you for the info. I have horrific vaginal atrophy. Thinning of the vaginal walls. Very painful intercourse. I cannot for the life of me find a doctor in my area (San Diego) that knows anything about this condition or how to treat it. I am gun shy to try anything like a estrogen tabs or rings up in the vagina because years ago I tried (Fem-tab?) them and my entire vagina become like a red erupting volcano. Raw and so painful. Perhaps a allergic reaction??? I Have been using compounded estradiol and progesterone for years with great success, but since 2020 the product quality is either not as good or they just stopped working for me. I’d love to simplify things and just try a bio-identical cream, but how do I get it and is it something that if I just put it on the outside of the vagina (inner labia) will it still help the thinning of the walls of the vagina? Do you ever see anyone remotely? I have been to three doctors now and I am beside myself with the lack of quality care in this new town we move to 1.5 years ago. 59 years old. Menopausal since 52. Married 26 years. Still active but too painful to go on. Help!
