Title: Estrone cream
Post by: celinecelica on July 27, 2023, 07:55:39 PM

Me again, why do I have to use estrogen cream for 14 days and after twice a week ??? I still have annoying symptom (after 12 days) like need to pee.. why cant I use it everyday until the symptoms goes away ?? and after twice a week... Is it dangerous ?? I cant talk to the doctor because it was a private clinic.. and I cant pay again for just a question.
Thanks

You can use it everyday. The silly leaflet that comes with any localised oestrogen is useless. If somebody has severe VA then using it twice a week is unlikely to be enough. I use Ovestin cream daily. If I miss one day then my VA flares. I have to use it every day.

If I were you I would just use it daily. Once your symptoms are under control you can reduce it if you wish to.

Just to let you know, you can also apply a bit of the cream to the outer area as well as inserting it. I mix a pea size amount with Yes VM and apply to the outer area that way.
