Hi ladies hope someone out there can help.
Have been on estriol (old gynest) cream for probably 2 years but for last 6 months or so have been using every night. No problems apart from in last couple of months had some light spotting (not every night)
Had ultrasound year or so + had a fibroid + some polyps but advised small in size + no action needed. Do have gp appt later this week but just wanted to ask Is it still normal to get occasional bleeding from either vaginal/endometrial atrophy whilst still using vaginal estrogen ? As you get older (I'm 52) does the atrophy worsen even when using the vaginal estrogen ?
I'm not using any other hrt apart from the vaginal cream. Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏼

I wouldn't have thought it was normal to have bleeding when using vaginal estrogen but I am not medically qualified. Best ask your GP when you have the appointment.

Localised oestrogen shouldn't make any difference to your own periods. But if your post meno (1 year without a natural bleed) any bleeding should be investigated as a possible cancer risk. I would see your gp. Fibroids, polyps and va can all cause spotting but best to get checked out.

Thanks for replies
Yeah I'm post menopause now.
As mentioned was referred to gyn + got ultrasound but see what GP says.
