About Estriol Cream

When women reach menopause, several biological changes begin to occur, one of which is a decrease in oestrogen production. As a result of low oestrogen production, vaginal dryness occurs, which further leads to inflammation, itching as well as other painful symptoms. Such symptoms tend to affect the sensitive lining of the vagina. Due to such occurrences, the likelihood of one developing urinary and vaginal infections increases significantly.

In order to combat vaginal dryness and other symptoms associated with it, a hormone replacement therapy (HRT), known as Estriol Cream, is used. It can prove to be life-changing for most users.

Estriol Summary Information

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any menopause treatment, including Estriol.

What is contained in Estriol?

The primary active ingredient in each tube is Estriol. However, there are various inactive ingredients. They may include eutanol G, lactic acid, sodium hydroxide, purified water, sorbitan monostearate, cetyl palmitate, glycerol, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, as well as chlorhexidine hydrochloride.

How effective is Estriol?

Oestrogen cream is a very effective form of treatment for the thinning of the cells lining the urethra and vagina, as it helps restore the cells and pause the continued depletion. One major benefit to the cream being applied directly to the affected area is that the required dose is lower than orally taken oestrogen and yet still achieves highly effective results. Clinical trials demonstrated relief from symptoms of the vagina, such as dryness, itching and inflammation, during the first weeks of treatment.

Why choose Estriol?

Estradiol, estrone, and Estriol are the three naturally occurring oestrogen hormones. Since Estriol had always been considered the weakest of the three due to the level of its oestrogenic effects within the body, it had often been overlooked in the treatment of menopausal side effects. And yet, more recently, studies have discovered that due to this supposed weakness, it comes with fewer potential side effects and possible dangers than when using hormone replacement products with higher potency oestrogens. Issues linked to synthetic hormones circulating through the body when taken orally can include stimulating the ductal cells in the breast, uterine lining and endometrial cells, increasing the risk of cancers in these areas.

Conversely, studies so far have demonstrated that low-dose vaginal oestrogen creams did not instigate such stimulated growth when used over a long-term basis. It also gives a good alternative option to women who either cannot or do not want to use HRT tablets or patches.

How does Estriol work?

When menopause causes the vaginal tissues to thin, the resulting symptoms, such as dryness and inflammation, can be challenging to live with. The use of an oestrogen medication such as Estriol supplements the vagina with the oestrogen the ovaries no longer produce naturally, easing the symptoms and giving relief.
