Episode 231: Can I Use Local Vaginal Estrogen AND Systemic Hormone Therapy?


Listen Later

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.

👉 Listen to this episode to learn the exact treatment options available and why they work.
