Vaginal Estrogen: Is for Everyone with Vaginal or Urinary Symptoms at Menopause?
Is low-dose vaginal estrogen therapy for all menopausal women? Like for every prescription drug, there is group of women who should not use vaginal estrogen. Some of the contraindications include:
1. Women without a prescription
2. Women with undiagnosed vaginal or uterine bleeding
3. Those with cancers that are estrogen-dependent
4. Those with an increased risk of thrombosis or forming clots, liver disease and pregnancy (of course)
Even though no studies so far have proven the association of vaginal estrogen with the formation of clots or damage to the liver, this still remains a grey area because of oral estrogen's bad reputation. This basically means low-dose vaginal estrogen is a great option for a vast majority of post-menopausal women. But then why aren't using most women with symptoms using it.
