The safe solution for the menopause symptom we don’t talk about
Certain menopause symptoms get a lot of press — like those miserable hot flashes…
Scientists study them, reporters write about them and everyone offers you advice on how to get rid of them.
But other symptoms don’t get as much attention because they can be a little embarrassing to talk about, which means millions of women are left suffering in silence.
If you’re among those millions of women, you may be dealing with a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms that don’t have a “quick-fix.”
Maybe you have those too-hot-to-handle hot flashes, but you’re also dealing with insomnia, depression, forgetfulness and an elevated heart rate.
Or maybe you have a common but less talked about menopause-related condition called genitourinary syndrome, which causes vaginal discomfort and urinary problems like leakage and UTIs.
Now, there’s no cure-all that can handle every menopause-related symptom you’re dealing with. But if vaginal discomfort and urinary issues are on your list of complaints, listen up…
There is a safe way to find immediate relief from these frustrating symptoms. It’s a treatment you’re probably already familiar with, but have been hesitant to try because of potential health risks like cancer, heart disease and stroke…
Vaginal estrogen.
It turns out this simple solution to some of the worst menopause symptoms is safe after all…
Vaginal estrogen: A safe solution to genitourinary syndrome
Science has finally given the go-ahead to women seeking menopause relief from vaginal estrogen. A study from researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles found that applying estrogen vaginally is not only an effective way to deal with certain menopause symptoms, it’s also safe.
Up until now, there have been concerns about the connection between vaginal estrogen and coronary heart disease, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke and other serious diseases.
But so many women have been using it anyway, despite these potential risks, because they’re desperate to find relief from genitourinary syndrome.
In case you’re unfamiliar with genitourinary syndrome, it’s an issue where dipping hormone levels cause vaginal dryness, burning and irritation, along with urinary urgency, painful urination and recurrent UTIs. Needless to say, it can make you miserable, interfere with your daily life and seriously hamper your sex life.
In the study, researchers examined data from a previous large-scale study, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Observational Study, which included more than 45,000 participants. The study showed that women who used vaginal estrogen didn’t have an increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, pulmonary embolism, hip fracture or death.
So after all these years, vaginal estrogen really is safe. That’s a big win for women everywhere!
Finding relief… finally!
So if you’ve been suffering from genitourinary syndrome, you can finally seek relief through vaginal estrogen…and feel safe in your decision to do so.
You can get prescription vaginal estrogen in a cream or suppository from your doctor. However, prescription estrogen creams are made with synthetic estrogen. And I’m guessing you’d probably prefer to go the non-prescription, more natural route…
If that’s the case, consider trying bioidentical estrogen creams. These creams are safe and effective. Many of them use plant estrogens extracted from wild yams.
In fact, women who use these yam-based creams topically say they help with genitourinary symptoms like dryness, discomfort and UTIs, but they also alleviate hot flashes, improve skin elasticity, diminish wrinkles, improve mood and reduce menopause-related weight gain. So give them a shot, and give your genitourinary symptoms the boot!
