EnRitched Menopause

82: Absorption of estrogen patch and gel


Listen Later

Are you using a transdermal estrogen patch or gel and wondering why it doesn’t seem to be doing much? New research may have an answer.

In this episode, Dr. Ritch discusses a recent study published in Menopause that suggests some women may not absorb estrogen effectively through the skin — and that could explain why symptoms persist, even with consistent use.

She breaks down what the research reveals, possible factors affecting absorption, and what this might mean for your treatment plan.
