Episode 231: Can I Use Local Vaginal Estrogen AND Systemic Hormone Therapy?
Description
Can you use vaginal estrogen and systemic hormone therapy?
Absolutely — and most women actually need both.
If you’re still experiencing:
• dryness or burning
• painful sex
• tearing when you wipe
• urinary urgency/frequency
• recurrent UTIs
…it’s not you, and it’s not that your hormones “aren’t working.”
It’s that systemic estrogen doesn’t fully treat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).
Here’s what the research shows:
✔ Up to 84% of women experience GSM
✔ 20–30% of women on systemic HT still need vaginal estrogen
✔ 50–70% benefit from using both
Local vaginal therapy directly restores the vulvar and vaginal tissue.
You deserve comfort, pleasure, and confidence again.
Relief is absolutely possible.
