Dry, Sore & Over It: Let's Talk Vaginal Estrogen
from MamaDoc BabyDoc Hosted by Renda K. Knapp, M.D. & Rachel Schultz, D.O.
Vaginal Dryness, Burning, Irritation, Painful Sex, and even Urinary Symptoms. These problems are common when estrogen levels drop. But you don't have to live with them. Menopause isn't the only time it happens. Breastfeeding moms can experience many of the same symptoms as estrogen levels remain low during lactation. In this MamaDoc-only episode, we'll talk about vaginal estrogen: what it is, how it works, the different ways to use it, and how it differs from systemic hormone therapy. We'll talk about the safety, how much actually gets into your bloodstream, and the questions women often have about using it during menopause and while breastfeeding. If things feel a little, or a lot, different down there, this is the episode for you.
