Estradiol actually reverses the atrophy and other issues though, it's not just for lubricating. Also, the MonaLisa Touch laser can completely regenerate the tissues.
Personally, I think coconut oil is the best natural lubricant. It is both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial so it keeps your flora balanced. I have been using that method for ten years and it works the best for me.
Not to be gross but do you apply it on the outside and inside? I was told to use coconut oil by the nurse practitioner with my gynecological oncologist's office but it sounded so shocking I didn't ask how/where. I was worried about the cancer coming back and didn't know that area can be "dry" until the woman said, " It looks dry, use coconut oil."
Totally agree!!! Refined coconut oil doesn't smell like the beach, and it's amazing. Coconut oil is best on the outside of our bodies, and not eaten. ✌️
I recommend my clients find a compounding pharmacy that will make a straight hyaluronic acid moisturizer. Personally, I’ve found it to be the best and safest. Many women are reluctant or can’t introduce anything that is hormone based.
a health thing I would love to know is: does wearing polyester clothes or sleepwear have health impacts.. like cancer etc... I wear and sleep in polyester clothes.. (soooo warm) but can polyester impact my health??? Love from Joyce from The Netherlands.
I would use breathable materials at night! Or even better, sleep without underwear. But I don't think polyester is that bad to wear in the day, it's mostly bad for the environment, when you wash it, because it sheds off most plastic then.
@@ellen3093 I heard that it gives of small part when you wear it that you breath in and can even make you sick... and I was talking about wearing pants and hoody in bed... I am cold so wear polyester cloths/ blankets.. thats why I was worried when I heard that it can make you ill....
Vaginal atrophy unfortunately can take place at any age, for example from using oral birth control pills and/or getting trush which needs medication, that is abrasive. The trush usually comes from using sythetic hormones as well.
As a uterine cancer survivor whose cancer tumor was estrogen positive--- no way I'm putting anything with estrogen or bioidentical to estrogen on/in my body. Some breast cancers are also estrogen positive! No way, not worth the risk. The female body is designed to lower the estrogen levels with age. I will take a dry "area" over cancer or increased cancer risk any day of the week.
@@pluribus_unum not true, there is a lot of misinformation out there... If natural hormones were the cause of cancer then all pregant women or young women would be dying of cancer, since that is when hormone levels are at their highest..
@@happycook6737 sorry to hear... What you do with your body is of course your choice, my understanding however is that there is no risk to using bio-identical hormones, quite the opposite in fact... If hormones were the cause of cancer all young and especially pregnant women would be rife with cancer - since that is when hormone levels are at their highest... And it isn't only "dry areas" that one has to deal with and worry about in menopause... That is the least of the problems that come up...
Great suggestion! I could only find research on fenugreek cream as an alternative to estrogen cream. Effect of Trigonella foenum (fenugreek) vaginal cream on vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women - June 30th, 2020. "The results of the present study demonstrated that the fenugreek vaginal cream treatment group experienced a significant improvement in vaginal atrophy symptoms compared to the onset of the study. Fenugreek vaginal cream was effective in treating vaginal atrophy; therefore, postmenopausal women are recommended to use this cream instead of synthetic estrogen to reduce the complications of this hormone."
@@user-rw7xd7qy3jMy gynecological oncologist nurse practitioner told me to smear a bit of coconut oil but I didn't try it because it sounded odd to me. I'm not experiencing any symptoms but she said it looked dry on exam. How in the world can anyone tell this? 😂 so utterly embarrassing. I was worried about the uterine cancer so it never occurred to me to worry about region being "dry".
i would check with your GYN doctor - it might be safe for some but others with a hx of or family hx of hormone-receptive cancers, should avoid using HRT/ hormonal- based products
You may want to watch this presentation by 2 women expert physicians on this topic - ruclips.net/video/jq3IWzfSGz0/видео.html Dr. Rubin's research indicates that small amounts of a vaginal cream does not negatively impact a woman as far as cancer goes as the effects are not systemic but stay local to the tissue area. Dr. Rubin is an expert in this area - ruclips.net/video/jq3IWzfSGz0/видео.html And, of course, take this information to your Doc to discuss.
I have not seen "Yes" lubricant anywhere. Please provide more information on it. I have seen "Ah, Yes" which is expensive. Hormone treatment, natural or not, did not work for me to fix this problem.
Hi YES® is available in the UK and AH!YES is the US FDA Approved version. In terms of expense, the AH!YES® product range are officially regulated as medical devices and FDA approved and certified organic, so you can be sure they are pure and safe and recommended by Medical Professionals
@@laviniawinch9557 thank you for that info! Do you know if the formulation is the same? I looked up the study, which also rated PH balance, and the Yes (UK) products were the only ones that met both criteria. I've ordered some shipped over, but would love to know if what I can get here (Ah! Yes) will also meet both criteria!
Perhaps good sex is beneficial to our overall health, performance, and/or longevity. Those are the very reasons I began looking to nutrition for answers. Some folks would be interested.
Yep, he's a bit out of his lane. He didn't talk about all the benefits of vaginal estrogen and how it reverses atrophy and is extremely safe, even for breast cancer survivors.
@@annefitzgerald1744 That's probably because vaginal moisturisers and lubricants are the first line treatment for GSM. This was the first of three videos and he will be talking about vaginal estrogen in another video later. He's actually spot on with all the data and information which is quite rare even amongst OB/GYN!
He is just disseminating the science. Man or woman the science/information is the same. It's not like he speaking from personal experience or giving his personal opinion.
Give xanthan gum a try. Test it out for yourself, and see. It's great. There are some tricks to getting it to mix with water without clumping, because it clumps very very quickly. Slowly adding it to a fast vortex of water, using a blender, an immersion blender or something similar, works well. Once you get the technique down, it's easy. It's surprisingly good stuff and very economical. You don't need much - maybe ⅛-¼ tsp per ½ cup of water (adjust up or down to achieve desired consistency). A little goes a long way.

@@happycook6737for what it's worth my girlfriend uses it both inside (moderately) and outside. It works great for her
i have used internally and also lightly externally (keeping away fro urethra area)...but as always, consult w/ your doctor first. @@happycook6737

Now I know what lubricants not to use on my slugs! 😂
I love this channel!
What about natural lubricants like coconut oil? It works well

An ex's excuse for dryness was her smoking. She was 30 at the time, so it didn't seem age appropriate at all.
We kept plenty of lubes on hand.
@@wadepatton2433 She was probably not into you and couldn't get wet because of that
@@faecal_transplant_donor not at all, it was a problem we overcame.
not all of them were.
Why put a bandaid on the problem when you can have full body sufficiency in hormones via bio identical, skin absorption method of hormone replacement?
Some people can't go on [hormone therapy].

How about the vegetable oils which are used for centuries in Ayurveda? I would like to see research on that as well.
Great suggestion!

I guess would be if it’s safe to consume internally then probably safe to use. Interesting question though.
Yes I was wondering about coconut oil as well

I've seen Almond Oil recommended by some sexperts.
I miss the comments section on the website, just noticed all the comments are gone from the older videos.
"VAGINA" ISN'T OFFENSIVE! gawd I hate the patriarchy.... Thanks for the info Doc.
It's not the patriarchy. If you say vagina in front of my mum, she will slap you.
👍good info.
Dr. Greger, is it ok to use ESTRIOL (not: Estradiol) bioidentical hormone creme?
i would check with your GYN doctor - it might be safe for some but others with a hx of or family hx of hormone-receptive cancers, should avoid using HRT/ hormonal- based products
