Treatment for vaginal dryness, painful sex, frequent UTIs, and urgency.
Many women are unaware that incontinence is a consequence of declining estrogen that starts in perimenopause and menopause.
The hormonal and physical changes that occur in the urinary tract can lead to urinary frequency and urinary urgency and this is a consequence of menopause. These symptoms don't happen immediately at the onset of menopause, they can show up years earlier or years later. Whenever urinary incontinence hits you, know that it probably won't get better on its own. But you don't need to rely on liners and pads. There are highly effective treatments to help restore urinary function.
You can start with a low-dose vaginal estrogen therapy like estradiol vaginal cream or estradiol vaginal cream. Although vaginal estrogen is inserted vaginally, it helps improve the function of the urinary system. And if you have frequent UTIs, vaginal dryness, or painful sex, then vaginal estrogen can help with that as well!
If after three months vaginal estrogen isn't working for you, there are other options such as pelvic floor physical therapy and certain bladder medications. (Although many bladder medications have very uncomfortable side effects.)
You can't get vaginal estrogen over the counter, so you'll need a prescription. We make that part super easy with an online consult and delivery to your door. You don't need insurance, co-pays, or hidden fees to get the comfort you deserve.
