Just came across your video and I must say that you are correct 💯!! I'm 78 lady and I was having some issues so my granddaughter sent me to her gyn doctor and he started me on the hormone, estradiol and it is helping me very much. So if I die of cancer, like a lot of people saying using this well i will go out happy!! Thank you for your information.
Dr. Gersh, it took 3 urologists at the same practice to figure out exactly what you just said!!! It's so unbelievable that they are specialists, and it took 4 years to get the correct diagnosis. But, silver lining is that with OT and estradiol cream my bladder issues, UTI's and IC are all but gone. Thank you for your video. I hope women realize how important your videos are and how valuable correct diagnosis for female urilogical issues is. 🎉😊
Exactly the same for me. 3 YEARS!!! My uti frequency was back to back to the point where I had blood in urine. Useless, money hungry male urologist!! I cured myself!!! Did my own tiktok research, found estradiol, told a urogyno to order it for me and have been UTI free since.
I’m 74, and I just started estrogen vaginal cream. I had estrogen sensitive breast cancer 30 years ago, with a total hysterectomy that stopped estrogen production to help stop the cancer. It was a hard call to start using the cream. What changed me is that I have a level 2:bladder prolapse. I had no idea I even had it as I became a widow recently and really had no symptoms. I was shocked to see the prolapse and ended up at a good OBGYN that specializes in prolapse. I started with a physical therapy specialist for prolapse this week. I’m super proactive and want to prevent possible surgery. Your information was so timely for me. Thank you for explaining vaginal health so clearly.
but.. do we absorb the estradiol vag cream in our blood stream ? that is my concern.. as i just had estrogen progesterone sensitive BCancer.. i was on bio identical.. and stopped immediately.. and man.. do i know it.. dry eyes.. bladder weak. leaks.. on and on.
@@senciemom according to everything I’ve read on the vaginal cream, including Mayo Clinic on the subject it’s safe. At this point in my life I don’t want to end up with bladder infections and the possibility of bladder cancer. No guarantees on life. I’m trusting God on this one. For me, I feel it’s the safe route. I just watched my husband loose his battle to bladder cancer along with other sub cancers.
@@senciemom My gyno prescribed me estradiol cream because I was always having a liquid yellowish discharge, which she said was normal as we age. I was even on bioidentical hormones and recently went off because of vaginal polyps I was getting all the time. But she said the estradiol does not go anywhere else but stays in the area of your vagina.
@@trixsterr3294 when it comes to structural issues (polyps) with glandular tissue, think iodine. Check out Lugol's solution and David Brownstein MD research. Lugol's has iodine and potassium iodide bc different tissues prefer different forms.
I will soon be 73, and wish I had known what was going on in my body through my 40s and 50s. I wish I could do it over knowing now what I should’ve known then!! Thank you for your detailed explanations.🙏
This makes so much sense. I thank an old fashioned urologist for putting me on a vaginal hormone therapy in my early 60s. It’s life changing. But I didn’t really understand it until I listened to this. Thank you.
Doctor, you talk about the Glycocaylix of the bladder in this video. As a Clinical, Nutritional Therapist, I would like to mention that Chondroitin Sulfate is a very healthy supplement that helps keep this tissue HEALTHY! It's helpful for joint and heart concerns as well! I thought it would be nice for you and your RUclipsr's to know this. There are other Professional, Nutraceutical supplements that are available to enhance and keep all these organs healthy as well! I wish you could make a video on this subject to your other excellent, informative videos!
My Urologist wants me to use “Estradiol Vaginal Cream 0.01%” Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Is this what you are talking about? I had total hysterectomy tubes and ovaries removed 1990 so was 43 years old. Is this correct for me? I have bladder leakage when getting up 2 or 3 times during the night. Changing pads every time.
Thanks so much for your help. You’re the only one that explained this to me correctly. I would skip my dosage . Now I’m going to do it twice a week faithfully as my doctor had asked me. I have been having bladder leaks and some bladder problems. I’m 65 years old now.
@Painting1959 me too I have also been skipping my dosage but the minute I listened to Dr Gersh, I rushed to insert my tablet... I inserted the last one 3 weeks ago😶🌫
Your channel just came up in my feed……..thank you so much for explaining this sensitive subject,,,,,Post Menopausal now …..in my early 60s I was getting UTIs couldn’t understand why, but it started periodically getting UTIs in my 50s ran to urgent care every month to get antibiotics ( they always found E.Coli) comes from your bowels but didn’t understand why, I always thought, after a BM & I wiped well, why would I get UTI’s finally went to an older male urologist and he did an invasive test and here ya go without any explanation I have an prescription for Estradiol.1% vaginal cream and voila no more UTIs I’m now 69, so far, so good…….update……I still get UTI’s only now they are once every year…….I’m ok with that! And I never had hot flashes……
I'm 47 and on the estrodial patch. My doctor didn't explain anything to me. I have no sex drive and this is my first time hearing this information. I can't Thank You enough for educating us on this topic.
@@imychavez1460 Well, the Dr put me on 0.05mg, which I'm learning is low dose. I feel it has helped with my terrible mood swings and sleep but not with weight gain. I have only been on it for 2 months so I'm guessing my body is still adjusting to it. I will be following up with my Dr next month to make any adjustments needed.
I recommend you ask the urologist if she/he specializes in female incontinence. Be tough because my experience was not great and i had to learn what to ask.
@@jessicahitchens6926my doctor and occupational therapist said no kegels. My OT who specializes in pelvic floor therapy, does a lot fascia work and at home exercises.

Here from argentina , thank you so much for everything you do for us. Im 62 and never took anything , 9 years of menopause. This year has been terrible for me . I dont understand , i feel horrible in this last yesr , i have to find an expert to ser if i can star now with hrt. I love hearing you dr.

64 for me. So angry... I am very health conscious, have been most of my life- never ran into this info- and Im such a information junkie when it comes to nutrition & health.
I think what we need is to find inspiration in something. I listen to Dimash all day long, and he keeps my hormonal level balanced, even boosted. Music has an immense power on our emotions therefore on our hormonal levels, then our organs will be just fine. Also physical activity is very important.

Excellent. Thank you for your informative video. Have been on Vagifem 10 for 6 years now. Took me 8 years to find a treatment for my chronic UTI which started at the age of 60. I am 74 now and 95% UTI free - about once a year seem to come down with a bladder infection. When I do I take Monurol antibiotic (single dose) which quickly clears my UTI. Ontario, Canada follower.
We need doctors with your important medical knowledge about menopause so that women can maintain good health. The doctors in Denmark know far too little about the huge damage caused to the body by a lack of estrogen. Thank you SO much for sharing your important medical knowledge ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for all the informative videos!🙏🏼💖 Please make a video about if Pregnenolone and DHEA can be used instead of other forms of hormones after menopause. Thx
First off, there's more than one type of cervical cancer that do not involve HPV. So we need to start educating people about that. Second, Id like to know how exercises affect all of this. Lastly, what about post menopausal? Is it worth doing anything at that stage? Would also be interested in hearing your take on those who have had hysterectomy and hormones.
Oh my how informative. I have just found an amazing gynae who has recently put me on vaginal hormone management. I use Premarin cream and am very comfortable with this and all the benefits you have explained. Thank you for this chat!! I loved it😊
Ok now I’m confused. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer back in May, which all the gynaecological oncologists confirmed is caused by too high oestrogen levels after menopause onset. The best option for treatment was a full hysterectomy, which was done just recently. None of the doctors had recommended or mentioned anything about vaginal health, in relation to the estrogen needing to be replaced. In fact it was celebrated that I needn’t worry about it any longer as it was no longer going to cause issue. Dr Gersh, it would be absolutely amazing if you could do a video regarding this whole process of looking after the vagina following a full hysterectomy. 🙏🏻♥️
Merci beaucoup, j’ai commencé ã avoir des problèmes cette annėe, à mes 65 ans, et ça a pris 6 mois avant de pouvoir voir un gynécologue et il m’a prescrit cette crème d’oestrogēne, je n’avais jamais entendu parler avant. Cela me renseigne beaucoup Merci
I'm a Pathologist and I think that the second spike of cervical cancer in older women is due to a couple of factors: the hormone deficiency like you mentioned and then women getting new infections due to getting divorced around 50 (so- called gray divorce) and starting to date again. I don't have any proof for this, it's just a hypothesis.
Blimey! What a lot of information I’ve never even thought about. It’s always been about maintaining the outside and be,ie ing that’s a good indicator of the inside but this has really got me thinking. I’m seeing my healthcare provider (Doctor) asap. I only hope he knows what you know and I get through the language barrier = him Spanish (some English) and me English (enough to get by in a restaurant or supermarket!). Thank you and Iim now a subscriber for more enlightening.
Tky, this is the first time I've watched you and truly appreciate the education you are providing. Women should all be better informed about this subject. Thankyou
I've learnt so much from you I appreciate you taking time out of your day to keep us women informed. I just finished watching a channel named The good life. He's saying women shouldn't be on hrt it causes cancer and when we lose estrogen it's meant to be. I left a comment and said I'll take advise from Dr. Gersh 😊
Wish he had vaginal atrophy. Wish everyone naysaying hormones who've never had tremendous suffering would have their chance to endure this hell. Walk a mile in our shoes or shut it.
I watched Marcus' video too. He thinks estrogen is only for making babies. His wife mentioned her night sweats in 2 videos. When I brought it up he made excuses and denied it. He should stay in his own lane.
Hello Dr Gersh, I had your video for such a longtime and felt uneasy to listen to all the details, and finally did. You've equipped me so well, so when the time comes, I'll know what to do. So far so good with my Gynae visits. I'm still on menopause. Thank you once again🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you very much Dr. GERSH. Very interesting. By intuition, I started some time ago with Chinese Herb "Dong Quai", which is said, to also keep the organs in place and regulates the hormones...writing from Germany. Sorry, have to say, I was very dissapointed by many Gynocologists, so I start taking care by myself.
Hello doctor. I am in menopause and on HRT and also I use Estrone Vaginal Cream which contains 0.1% estrone. Is this the same as estradiol that you talk about in the video and can I apply it on my face please? Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this education. I am 75. Total hysterectomy at 40 then stopped all estrogen at 60. Now I have a vaginal prolapse and wear a pessary with leaky bladder. The GYN I saw has put me on vaginal estradiol 2ml 2X week and I recently learned I can use a low dose on my face and hands. I have also had 2 bladder suspensions. I guess some of this could have been avoided with the continuation of estrogen. : (
When I consulted with the Gynocological oncologist He said bluntly and without hesitation that the Estrodiol causes cancer. And he's young man.. CASE CLOSED.
@@KarenB-jp3txu need both Estrodiol and progesterone! My prolapse disappeared!!!! Crazy I got prolapse because my stupid doctor took me off progesterone and left me just on estradiol. I had really bad prolapse and then a year later I went back and asked to be put back on the progesterone because I had a feeling something wasn’t right he refused, but I insisted so I started using it, but it was too late. A couple months later I had spotting and I went in. He gave me a uterus biopsy two weeks later they said it was cancer and had to have a hysterectomy immediately so I’ve been putting it off as I put myself back on the estrogen and progesterone and that’s when the prolapse went away. It’s just amazing. I’m trying to treat myself with herbs and water fasting and certain foods mostly grapes and fruit. I’m following Dr. Morris’s recommendations for herbs. Good luck take the progesterone and estrogen no matter what your doctor says or go to another one.
@@KarenB-jp3tx what a jerk don’t ever see that doctor again just taking estrogen will give you cancer. Definitely you have to have estrogen and progesterone together or you will get cancer and they will take out your uterus and anything else they can for the money.
wow thank you for how you explained everything. My gynecologist never explained anything. I needed a hysterectomy due to bleeding other doctors where telling him I needed it but he refused I asked why all he said was " you don't want one". Until they found a mass on my left ovary then I had to have a complete hysterectomy and oophorectomy and he said "you finally got your wish" and still didn't explain anything.
Thank you for so much vital info. As we get older we dont realize so many changes take place in our bodies. I was injurred by a doctor because he didnt realize these things happen after menopause.
@amelapapan6625, May I ask how the doctor injured you? Was it a physical examination? Whenever I'm getting a Pap Smear, my doctor always uses a glove and lubricant; it's never sore or painful, and I get no injuries.
Dr gersh, I am a bit confused with this video. I believe I've heard you say that you're not a fan of estriol because it down regulates the estradiol. This video contradicts your previous ones. Or maybe I've just heard it incorrect.
Thanks for this informative. I am 64. After visits to the gynaecologist I Had to cease vaginal estrogen to due to repeated estrogen driven thrush. Is there any way I can go back to it as I found it very beneficial?
What form did you use? I reacted to the creams. I'm not having issues with the tablets. The particular cream I was first given had parabens and other ingredients I didn't like. Or it sounds like she recommends DHEA too.
Wow…this woman is telling women really important secrets. This information is so valuable. I cannot wait to look into this further. Thank you so very much!💗❤🩷
I have leaky gut and through very strict diet i’m very vigilant and eating the most super antioxidant foods. I don’t drink cuddle smoke, and I have zero sugar no pizza no desserts etc , on top of that. I take Whole Food supplements with no fillers, vitamin D and especially probiotics to keep the micro biomes , gut health strong. I’m 68 years old and through these super foods exercise is crucial and just part of my lifestyle. I’m a fitness and yoga instructor. You mentioned Esther dial along with other vaginal health things we can do. Thank you. I am wondering if through foods we can improve our vaginal health keeping those micro, biomes, strong, and healthy through whole food eating???
I have been eating an extremely clean keto diet for 12 years. I am now 60 years old, and went through menopause ten years ago. Anyhow, I sincerely believe that because of my diet, I have none of these issues. My vagina is still very lubricated and sex is no different than it was in my 20’s. Hmmmm… maybe I’m not old enough?
Thank you Dr Gersh, it’s so informative and very helpful all your hormone’s lectures. ♥️👏👏👏🙌 I’m 70 years old, can I use estradile vaginal cream with a benign cyst, less than 2 cms, on the right ovary? Thank you 🙏
I live in California and as far as I can tell, there is no over the counter estradiol cream for vaginal use available here. If there is, I would like to know the brand name.
Can you take any of these products if you've had breast cancer in the past? I am a 23 year breast cancer survivor who was estrogen positive. I am now 67 years old.
I have tried numerous times to use Estragyn and the side effects are really bad, sore breasts, enlarged breasts, depression, abdominal pain., burning etc… I am using Repagyn twice a week. I also have bladder and rectal prolapse. And I have recurring bladder infections. What else can I try?
Dr. What about those ladies that have had Lycan Sclerosis? Can this treatment help in that area if the problem wasn't totally disfiguring or even THAT bad? Plz can you answer this? It's so important that I know?
I have lichen sclerosus and have been on the clobetasol cream for years. Once I started to use the estrogen vaginal cream 2 years ago, I found it helped the condition also and now it seems I do not need as much of the steroid. Lichen sclerosus comes as we age because the lack of estrogen exacerbates it.
Just came across your video and I must say that you are correct 💯!! I'm 78 lady and I was having some issues so my granddaughter sent me to her gyn doctor and he started me on the hormone, estradiol and it is helping me very much.

Thank you for great information, and educated on our body function.
Thanks for incredible job you do Dr. Fantastic information 👏🏿
Thank you 🙏 for your great very clear explanation. I never would’ve known. Your great information is very much appreciated. ❤
I'm a Pathologist and I think that the second spike of cervical cancer in older women is due to a couple of factors: the hormone deficiency like you mentioned and then women getting new infections due to getting divorced around 50 (so- called gray divorce) and starting to date again. I don't have any proof for this, it's just a hypothesis.
I agree with your hypothesis! I'm a Nutritional Therapist 😊
Blimey! What a lot of information I’ve never even thought about. It’s always been about maintaining the outside and be,ie ing that’s a good indicator of the inside but this has really got me thinking. I’m seeing my healthcare provider (Doctor) asap. I only hope he knows what you know and I get through the language barrier = him Spanish (some English) and me English (enough to get by in a restaurant or supermarket!). Thank you and Iim now a subscriber for more enlightening.
Tky, this is the first time I've watched you and truly appreciate the education you are providing. Women should all be better informed about this subject. Thankyou
I've learnt so much from you I appreciate you taking time out of your day to keep us women informed. I just finished watching a channel named The good life. He's saying women shouldn't be on hrt it causes cancer and when we lose estrogen it's meant to be. I left a comment and said I'll take advise from Dr. Gersh 😊
She truly is a Godsend and amazing!! 💕🌸
Wish he had vaginal atrophy. Wish everyone naysaying hormones who've never had tremendous suffering would have their chance to endure this hell. Walk a mile in our shoes or shut it.
Why would you listen to a man?? He sounds like a buffoon and grifter...
I’ve been taking hrt for about 20 years
I watched Marcus' video too. He thinks estrogen is only for making babies. His wife mentioned her night sweats in 2 videos. When I brought it up he made excuses and denied it. He should stay in his own lane.
Hello Dr Gersh, I had your video for such a longtime and felt uneasy to listen to all the details, and finally did. You've equipped me so well, so when the time comes, I'll know what to do. So far so good with my Gynae visits. I'm still on menopause. Thank you once again🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you very much Dr. GERSH. Very interesting. By intuition, I started some time ago with Chinese Herb "Dong Quai", which is said, to also keep the organs in place and regulates the hormones...writing from Germany. Sorry, have to say, I was very dissapointed by many Gynocologists, so I start taking care by myself.
Dong Quai caused me to have extremely heavy bleeding. My period was so bad I had to go to the hospital. Be careful.
Hello doctor. I am in menopause and on HRT and also I use Estrone Vaginal Cream which contains 0.1% estrone. Is this the same as estradiol that you talk about in the video and can I apply it on my face please? Thank you.
Dr. Gersh. Thank you very much for a most informative tutorial. I have learnt so much.
You are my new Guru, Dr. Hersh. Thank you!❤
Thank you so glad i found you
Excellent knowledge

Thank you SO MUCH for this education. I am 75. Total hysterectomy at 40 then stopped all estrogen at 60. Now I have a vaginal prolapse and wear a pessary with leaky bladder. The GYN I saw has put me on vaginal estradiol 2ml 2X week and I recently learned I can use a low dose on my face and hands. I have also had 2 bladder suspensions. I guess some of this could have been avoided with the continuation of estrogen. : (
I was afraid of using estrogen. Now im prolapsed too. I'm going to find out if I can use it. I've had bad experiences with hormones. Well. We'll see.
When I consulted with the Gynocological oncologist He said bluntly and without hesitation that the Estrodiol causes cancer. And he's young man.. CASE CLOSED.
@@KarenB-jp3txu need both Estrodiol and progesterone! My prolapse disappeared!!!! Crazy
I got prolapse because my stupid doctor took me off progesterone and left me just on estradiol. I had really bad prolapse and then a year later I went back and asked to be put back on the progesterone because I had a feeling something wasn’t right he refused, but I insisted so I started using it, but it was too late. A couple months later I had spotting and I went in. He gave me a uterus biopsy two weeks later they said it was cancer and had to have a hysterectomy immediately so I’ve been putting it off as I put myself back on the estrogen and progesterone and that’s when the prolapse went away. It’s just amazing.
I’m trying to treat myself with herbs and water fasting and certain foods mostly grapes and fruit. I’m following Dr. Morris’s recommendations for herbs. Good luck take the progesterone and estrogen no matter what your doctor says or go to another one.
@@KarenB-jp3tx what a jerk don’t ever see that doctor again just taking estrogen will give you cancer. Definitely you have to have estrogen and progesterone together or you will get cancer and they will take out your uterus and anything else they can for the money.
wow thank you for how you explained everything. My gynecologist never explained anything. I needed a hysterectomy due to bleeding other doctors where telling him I needed it but he refused I asked why all he said was " you don't want one". Until they found a mass on my left ovary then I had to have a complete hysterectomy and oophorectomy and he said "you finally got your wish" and still didn't explain anything.
You were silly
Wow! That was well described and insightful! I need to go see my doctor now!
Thank you for so much vital info. As we get older we dont realize so many changes take place in our bodies. I was injurred by a doctor because he didnt realize these things happen after menopause.
@amelapapan6625,
May I ask how the doctor injured you? Was it a physical examination?
Whenever I'm getting a Pap Smear, my doctor always uses a glove and lubricant; it's never sore or painful, and I get no injuries.
Thank you so much I almost give up hrt because of you I gave it a second chance it's working a lot better now
Thanks ❤️
Phenomenal video. I forwarded to at least 10 people.
Thank you for that educative video. The hormons are a blessing but most women fear it like the devil!
What do you recommend for women who have had Breast cancer?
Endometrial/uterine cancer too
Thank you so much for this information. So much appreciation for you Dr Gersh.
Thank you for the info, but I you can’t use estrogen after estrogen receptive breast cancer. What can I use then?
Tgank you gor you wealth of information shared with us around the world.
A big hello from Caithness Scotland!❤
Awesome information. Thank you so much.
what are the side effes
Thank you so much for your excellent and informative video!
Your smile is good ❤
Dr gersh, I am a bit confused with this video. I believe I've heard you say that you're not a fan of estriol because it down regulates the estradiol. This video contradicts your previous ones. Or maybe I've just heard it incorrect.
Thank you for your information even though I like more of an organic natural approach.
Thku you Dr. Gersh. Great info. Just subscribed. 🌸 Blessings
Thank you! Marvelous education.
DHEA treatment can use ofter10 years of menopause please reply
Thank you. Life saving information
@Felice Gersh, can you please talk about bio identical progesterone, thanks in anticipation : )
Great video! Thank you!!
Look at Barbara O'Neill about hormone therapie and hormone imbalance.
Hello. Thankyou had no idea
Should i get my hormone levels checked before taking using these creams
Never had that checked. I am 60.
AWESOME INFORMATION!!!!!
Thanks for this informative. I am 64. After visits to the gynaecologist I Had to cease vaginal estrogen to due to repeated estrogen driven thrush. Is there any way I can go back to it as I found it very beneficial?
What form did you use? I reacted to the creams. I'm not having issues with the tablets. The particular cream I was first given had parabens and other ingredients I didn't like. Or it sounds like she recommends DHEA too.
@@snazitto4417 I’ve used both but the latest being the pessaries. Still reacted
Have you tried hylauronic acid? @@colleen2513
Take estradiol progesterone immediately together every day and you will get better!
Thank you. My Dr said I didn’t need hormones but a health place I went said I needed them…. So confusing!! 😮
Thankyou for the information .very good .
Wow…this woman is telling women really important secrets. This information is so valuable. I cannot wait to look into this further. Thank you so very much!💗❤🩷
What are the physiological levels?
Thank you Dr
Very informative
God bless you ❤
They say that having cervical dysplasia used to be called folate deficiency...is that a correlation to the spike in elder women?
Yes
I have leaky gut and through very strict diet i’m very vigilant and eating the most super antioxidant foods. I don’t drink cuddle smoke, and I have zero sugar no pizza no desserts etc , on top of that. I take Whole Food supplements with no fillers, vitamin D and especially probiotics to keep the micro biomes , gut health strong.
I’m 68 years old and through these super foods exercise is crucial and just part of my lifestyle. I’m a fitness and yoga instructor.
You mentioned Esther dial along with other vaginal health things we can do. Thank you. I am wondering if through foods we can improve our vaginal health keeping those micro, biomes, strong, and healthy through whole food eating???
Sorry, correction ,, auto correct. I meant I don’t drink or smoke.
Would you discuss Interstitial Cystitis?
Yes please discuss
Thank you for this info…I’m 74 is it and post menopause is too late for me to benefit from this treatment?
At the end of the video she says one can start at any age.
8@@mariahoffman6192
@@mariahoffman6192 take it immediately estradiol and progesterone or you will get cancer
Fantastic video.
Dr Gersh , thank you🌹
I have been eating an extremely clean keto diet for 12 years. I am now 60 years old, and went through menopause ten years ago.
Anyhow, I sincerely believe that because of my diet, I have none of these issues. My vagina is still very lubricated and sex is no different than it was in my 20’s.
Hmmmm… maybe I’m not old enough?
Me too, at 68! Still wet and squirting 😂!! I appreciate my partner who's 10 years younger, TOO! It's empowering 🎉😂
Why is it that we DONT SEE CERIVAL CANCER NUMBERS HIGH IN WOMEN IN OTHER countries from.65 +???
Whats the Best Cleanse for the Vagina??❤
I herd that Tretinoin cream has Harmones in it ?? Is thst true?? And is it Good or Bad?? Thamk you❤
Thank you Dr Gersh, it’s so informative and very helpful all your hormone’s lectures. ♥️👏👏👏🙌 I’m 70 years old, can I use estradile vaginal cream with a benign cyst, less than 2 cms, on the right ovary? Thank you 🙏
I live in California and as far as I can tell, there is no over the counter estradiol cream for vaginal use available here. If there is, I would like to know the brand name.
Estradiol cream cost 10 bucks with insurance
Can you take any of these products if you've had breast cancer in the past? I am a 23 year breast cancer survivor who was estrogen positive. I am now 67 years old.
same question i have,,, do we absorb this into our bloodstream to cause more breast cancer ????
I hope we receive an answer. I would love to put an end to 23 years of symptomatic suffering!
Thank you for all this information. You have been very thorough !
What are the cancer risks for taking estriol or estradiol?
Thanks for the info I will try them
I have tried numerous times to use Estragyn and the side effects are really bad, sore breasts, enlarged breasts, depression, abdominal pain., burning etc… I am using Repagyn twice a week. I also have bladder and rectal prolapse. And I have recurring bladder infections. What else can I try?
Bio available creams
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Dr. What about those ladies that have had Lycan Sclerosis? Can this treatment help in that area if the problem wasn't totally disfiguring or even THAT bad? Plz can you answer this? It's so important that I know?
I have lichen sclerosus and have been on the clobetasol cream for years. Once I started to use the estrogen vaginal cream 2 years ago, I found it helped the condition also and now it seems I do not need as much of the steroid. Lichen sclerosus comes as we age because the lack of estrogen exacerbates it.
I use it on the outside topically, it works
Thanks for the info.
