@tamsenfadal: I have no limits or shame on the internet anymore! 🙃 Not apologizing, these are the conversations we NEED to be having! This is what the Menopause Society says about vaginal estrogen: ✔️ It treats dryness, irritation, and pain ✔️ It improves sexual function and comfort ✔️ It reduces recurrent UTIs ✔️ It eases burning and urgency with urination ✔️ It’s a low-dose, localized treatment that does not significantly raise estrogen levels in the body ✔️ It’s considered safe for most women, including many cancer survivors, with guidance from your doctor Unlike systemic hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen stays mostly in the vaginal tissue. Studies show it carries minimal risk of blood clots, stroke, or breast cancer. There’s no need to suffer in silence. Talk to your doctor and ask about your options. #perimenopause #menopause
