These include endometrial and breast cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and dementia. Unfortunately, these risks remain on the label despite no evidence to support that vaginal estrogen has the same effects.
Why should you know this? So that YOU understand why that warning is on the box when you make an informed decision about using low-dose vaginal estrogen with your doctor.
