Title: Estriol Cream
Post by: margaret on November 22, 2017, 03:04:54 PM

Hi just need some advice please, would it be ok to use Estriol cream for a 2 week boost when I have an Estring in.  I'm having a bit discomfort with stinging and feel like I need to wee  :-\

It might be fine but what about using some vaginal Moisturiser and/or Multi Gyn Actigel to get the flora balance back. I find that the stinging and burning is due to an imbalance, probably bacteria from the bowel which then effects the urethra. DG x

Obviously try what DG said .....but I use the estring and estriol is absolutely fine to use externally also .

This is from a top HRT specialist.
