Relieve Perimenopause Symptoms with Topical Estrogen?

As your body enters perimenopause and estrogen production slows, many women experience uncomfortable changes in vaginal and urinary health. Fortunately, topical estrogen offers an effective solution. Applied directly to the affected area, this treatment can help restore balance and reduce symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency. With a doctor’s prescription, topical estrogen is easy to use and can optimally target local tissues, providing much-needed relief. Common symptoms that topical estrogen can help alleviate include:
  • Vaginal dryness and soreness
  • Itching, redness, or burning of the vulva
  • Frequent urges to urinate or pain during urination
  • Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
By working with an inter-professional healthcare team, you can create a personalized treatment plan to manage your symptoms effectively. If you’re experiencing these changes, speak with your doctor about whether topical estrogen is right for you.
