Does vagifem/estradiol help with other low oestrogen symptoms as well as VA?
Thank you

A year’s worth of applying is supposed to be equivalent to a day of hrt so I don’t think so. (As said by Dr Nick Panay) however but my mother and mil found they had some stomach side effects when they tried.

Short answer: no. It is a minute dose of oestrogen. Some folk say they do experience some cross over effects at first, but once the vaginal and vulval tissues thicken up, this will stop.

It only helps with the low estrogen symptoms that are around that area. So, urinary symptoms, vulva or anus etc - but it is not supposed to have any systemic effects.
