How Does it Work
Estriol 0.025%-1% Vaginal Cream is a type of hormone therapy that is commonly used for the treatment of Female Sexual Health. Specifically, it is used to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness. Estriol is a form of estrogen, a naturally occurring hormone in the female body necessary for the maintenance of vaginal health. When the body’s natural levels of estrogen decline, typically due to menopause, the lining of the vagina becomes thin, dry, and inflamed, leading to a condition known as Vaginal Atrophy. Estriol helps to counter these effects by replenishing the body’s supply of hormones and restoring the vagina to its normal state. The cream is applied directly to the vagina and absorbed into the tissues, initiating a gradual and localized hormone delivery, which helps restore the vaginal lining to a normal state. Estriol can help relieve many symptoms of Vaginal Atrophy, including dryness, burning, itching, and pain during intercourse. It is important to note that Estriol 0.025%-1% Vaginal Cream is not a contraceptive and should not be used as a substitute for birth control. It is also important to use the cream in the prescribed dosage and to discontinue use if any side-effects occur.
Other Uses
The compounded formulation of Estriol 0.025% to 1% Vaginal Cream can also be used to treat dyspareunia in postmenopausal women, who are unable to use regular estriol creams due to its overwhelming estrogen potency. The cream offers a lower concentration of estriol compared to other products, while still providing the same clinical benefits. Furthermore, the cream can be used to treat inflammatory symptoms such as dysuria, pruritus vulvae, and burning pain in postmenopausal women. Additionally, it can be used for the treatment and maintenance of the urogenital flora, restoring the pH of the vulva, helping to treat recurrent bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Lastly, the cream may be used as a lubricant to reduce friction during sexual intercourse.
