Vaginal estrogen products: Use them to keep things normal down there// Vaginal estrogen is a safe and effective way to treat the genitourinary system after menopause. This video discussed the safety of vaginal estrogen and the many different vaginal estrogen products that are commercially available for vaginal atrophy. Vaginal estrogen is also good for painful intercourse, recurrent urinary tract infections, and dryness with even sitting or standing. Learn all about the vaginal estrogen products that I often recommend.

I get same problem, go to another doc in his practice and the guy can't figure it out and orders compounded meds that didn't help at ALL. He couldn't think of the word ESTROGEN? Unreal!

I am almost 2 decades past Surgical menopause and I’ve been having more symptoms lately. I had prolapse surgery about two months ago so I ended up at a gynecologist that I searched for that specialized in menopause and she’s putting me on estrogen cream to try and a little testosterone, but never in my lifetime has any gynecologist ever ever ever discussed this with me and my body and what I could do to help it shame on the community for giving up on women’s bodies post menopausal Shame on you doctors! Not you Dr. Heather you’re amazing, I wish you were in Chicago. I would be signing up to be your patient tomorrow!

Thank you for this! It is good to hear a female that understands females. How many females have been to a Mississippi urologists and were brushed off by these docs and found out later they had kidney stones, a terrible infection, or blood in their urine or something simple like needing estrogen as this female doc suggested? How many found out they had post menopausal symptoms, or parathyroid issues causing kidney problems causing kidney stones from high calcium counts? Females have no recourse here so it is so good to find this out from a female doctor. Thank you! Thank you! It is refreshing to hear intelligence and from a doctor that cares!

Thank you Dr. Heather for this amazing informative video. My Dr. has me on Imvexxy once per week instead of twice, plus I take oral estrogen and progesterone. The oral (very small doses) was prescribed by my GP. When I wasn't feeling any different in my vaginal area, I sought out a "menopause specialist" in my area and she is the one that introduced me to the Imvexxy. She also said it would be alright to stay on the oral estrogen and progesterone as well.....Is this ok to do? The vaginal estrogen is AMAZING! I am 51 and it makes SO much difference. I cannot believe how many symptoms (I had no idea) that came with menopause. I LOVE vaginal estrogen and hope I can take it forever:) Thank you so much for all your time and information you share with us all. You truly make a difference ❤️

I removed the Estring and it stopped. Has anyone else had this issue? I am wondering if I should go to Invexxy or Yuvafem instead. Any comments appreciated!

Oh. My. GOSH!!! My jaw dropped when you brought up painful urination that WASN'T an infection! I am a 37-year-old Triple Negative breast cancer survivor and am on Tamoxifen to suppress estrogen because my tumor had SMALL markers of estrogen. I've been on Tamoxifen for about 8 months now. 3-4 months in, I noticed UTI-like painful, frequent urination. I saw my doctor and had a urine culture which came back 'normal'... but how could it be normal?? I was in pain all day, every day... I began to think the chemo/medication potentially gave me some type of bladder cancer (every pain makes me think I have cancer again.. ack!). To top it off, my fiance and I haven't been able to have sex for almost a year because Tamoxifen has put me into early menopause and I have vaginal atrophy. My partner is very girthy, so sex is impossible right now which makes me feel 'broken' and I'm sure he's frustrated, as well. I began taking D3 supplements once a day a few weeks ago and my bladder pain has disappeared, thank goodness, BUT I had no idea it could be related to low estrogen from medicated menopause! That makes SO much sense. I've reached out to my OB-Gyn to talk about potentially prescribing vaginal estrogen to counteract the atrophy from Tamoxifen. Fingers crossed!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world :)

I know this was a year ago, but I'm 12 years postmenopausal and natural progesterone ( not Progestin, the synthetic kind) really helps to lubricate me naturally just by taking progesterone drops orally or rubbing the cream into my wrists/feet (you don't need to put into vagina). It seems to help make my vaginal tissues inside more "cushioned", so I'm wondering if it heals similar to estrogen/estradiol. Hope this helps 😊.

Thank you for your thoroughness. You stated that the topic is not always discussed enough and I agree. I have a question. If a doctor gives vaginal estradiol and no warning labels or lots of details show in the same way pharmacy meds show, does it mean it is a compounded medication? I’m disappointed my doctor did not explain the difference and asked me to make the choice. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

If you have a video on certain clues that I should use on when to apply my estrogen cream during perimenopause that would be great

So glad I found you. Just left my doctors because I’m experiencing these symptoms. I can’t decipher whether it’s my bladder or vagina. I’ve been tested for UTIs, STDs, BV and yeast and all come back negative. I’ve been given antibiotics and I’m still in discomfort. It feels like irritation and urinary urgency that comes and goes. So he prescribed me vegifem to rule out atrophy. I’m so glad you confirmed the safety of these medications that he had mentioned too. I hope this helps me. I’ve been dealing with this discomfort for 3 months.

Are you feeling better now? Which form of vaginal estrogen did he prescribe for you? I’ve been on vaginal estrogen for 3 yrs yet still am like you. I feel like I have a perpetual UTI, but tests and swabs always come back normal.

@@LoveABun Yes, I am. I didn’t end up using the vegifem. My Functional Pharmacist prescribed me Estriol 0.1% vaginal cream. It has stopped the UTI like symptoms. I also stopped drinking coffee. I feel like coffee made things worse. Whenever I feel that UTI sensation I apply a little bit of that cream around and in my labia, and it’s been working great. I also take probiotics. These changes have stopped whatever was going on.

I have been so Afraid to try creams due to having a brain tumor removed in 2017 . I wasn't sure if using vaginal estrogen cream would get in my system. I'm sitting here with happy tears Because your kind helpful informative video has helped me understand and feel safe to move forward with using an estrogen cream. If I could hug you I would! Please know that you are greatly appreciated! Thank you from my heart of hearts for helping us all understand menopause!

You are very welcome! There is absolutely NO reason you could not use vaginal estrogen (even systemic estrogen for that same reason) This is NOT a contraindication

The doc did say that v cream is not systematic, however a person wrote in the comments that she was using the cream in the v spot yet had systematic side effects. Proceed with caution.

Excellent content and very clearly presented. Thank you. However, since the medical name of these hormones and products are so foreign to most of us, it's difficult to recall them as you say them and difficult to spell them to research them. therefore, I recommend that you list them below, or show the names on the screen.

My doctor prescribed estradiol 2 MG along with testosterone 2mg in with the cream to help with libido. I'm 54. It's been 3 weeks and I'm just now noticing great results. Looking forward to the full results at 12 weeks.

Thank you so much for your video! Very informative! I’ve heard a lot about various hyaluronic acid products for the vagina. Can you please discuss those? Are they considered only a lubricant? Or, can they also affect the cellular structure of the vagina (similar to estradiol creams)? Very confused about their purpose. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video Dr Hirsch. I have all of these symptoms. I also have painful bowel movements but they come and go- I might go for months without them and then have them for a few weeks...could this be tied to my pelvic area needing estrogen too? Could it cause painful bowel movements? Any advise or if you have heard of this I'd appreciate any info you can provide.

All of it is related to hormonal dysfunction and deficiencies. Every girl/woman needs to be informed on this and can use it at any age after menses etc.
