Navigating vaginal dryness, painful sex, bladder urgency, or increased UTIs? Meet your new ally: vaginal estrogen cream. We’ll dive into why it’s your go-to solution for vaginal menopausal discomfort and how at Evernow, we kickstart your journey to relief.

Understanding vaginal estrogen: the basics

Vaginal estrogen cream is FDA-approved and contains 0.1% estradiol. It is made to tackle Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) — these symptoms include frequent UTIs, painful sex, clitoris shrinkage, decreased vaginal health, and more.

Why treating GSM matters

GSM isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a common issue affecting 84% of women in peri/menopause. From vaginal dryness to painful intimacy and increased UTIs, the symptoms can disrupt daily life. Additionally, these symptoms do not just go away with time, they can actually progress and get worse. Enter vaginal estrogen: working to restore estrogen levels and rejuvenate tissues for improved function and comfort.

How to use vaginal estrogen

Applying vaginal estrogen cream is simple. With the provided applicator, fill and insert into the vagina. You can also take the cream and apply it around the outside of the vagina. Optimal timing? We recommend using the cream before bedtime for overnight absorption.

Is it safe?

Vaginal estrogen is considered safe for nearly every woman. Low-dose vaginal estrogens are designed to target symptoms locally, minimizing systemic effects. Because of this, there is no need for progesterone. As always, consult your provider for personalized advice.

Combining therapies

Mixing systemic and vaginal hormones is a viable option for managing menopausal symptoms. Even those with a history of breast cancer can explore vaginal estrogen as an alternative to systemic HRT.
