Vaginal Estrogen
Also known as: Vagifem, Ovestin, Blissel, Imvaggis, Estriol cream, Vaginal oestrogen
Low-dose oestrogen applied directly to the vagina as a pessary, cream, or ring. Treats local symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) including vaginal dryness, discomfort, and recurrent UTIs. Does not significantly raise systemic oestrogen levels and is safe for most women, including many with a history of breast cancer.

Research Context

How does Vaginal Estrogen work?
Delivers oestradiol or oestriol locally to vaginal and urethral tissues, restoring mucosal thickness, elasticity, and moisture. Systemic absorption is minimal at therapeutic doses, meaning it has little effect on endometrial or breast tissue.
