Oestrogen applied directly to vaginal tissue, where the effect is needed. Because absorption into the bloodstream is minimal at standard doses, it is often appropriate for women who cannot or prefer not to take systemic hormone therapy. Most people move to a twice-weekly maintenance routine after the first fortnight. ## What to expect - Nightly, then twice weekly — A loading fortnight followed by a simple maintenance routine. - Local, not systemic — It treats dryness and discomfort, not hot flushes. - Two to three weeks — Comfort usually improves in that window. - Report any bleeding — Unexplained bleeding always needs checking. ### Your treatment Vaginal cream Your prescription confirms the strength, quantity and dispensing schedule. ### Your routine Applied using your prescribed directions. Follow your clinician’s instructions and the pharmacy label. ### Delivered discreetly Free shipping, in discreet packaging.

Ongoing support ## How to take it Insert the prescribed amount vaginally using the applicator, nightly for the first two weeks, then two to three times weekly for maintenance ## Side effects and safety Estrogen raises the risk of cancer of the uterus lining. Estrogen with a progestin should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. In the Women's Health Initiative, estrogen with a progestin raised the risk of heart attack, stroke, invasive breast cancer, and blood clots in the lungs and legs. The vaginal cream carries the same boxed warning as the tablet. Tell your care team straight away if you get any unusual vaginal bleeding, chest pain or shortness of breath, pain or swelling in a leg, sudden vision loss or change, a sudden severe headache or weakness on one side, yellowing of your skin or eyes, or swelling of your face, lips or throat. Common side effects - burning or irritation of the vulva or vagina - changes in vaginal discharge - genital itching - breast tenderness - headache - nausea - bloating - mood changes Rare but serious - cancer of the uterus lining - breast cancer - ovarian cancer - stroke and heart attack - blood clots in the legs or lungs - gallbladder disease needing surgery - probable dementia in women aged 65 and over Do not take this if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, you have or have had breast cancer or another estrogen-dependent cancer, you have had a blood clot in a leg or lung, you have had a stroke or heart attack, you have liver disease, you have a protein C, protein S or antithrombin deficiency, or you are or may be pregnant. This is not a complete list of side effects. Message your care team about any symptom that worries you. ## More in this category ![Estradiol capsules package](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/6acaeb76f8a9ac3bf6db22fb-lane61-womens-estradiol-oral-tablet-hero-1200-dd701b5068a2dc50.webp) ### Estradiol Oral Capsule Capsule · 1.1 mg [Explore Estradiol Oral Capsule](https://www.vitalsvault.com/treatments/womens-estradiol-oral-tablet?audience=women&source=catalog) ![Progesterone capsules package](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/6acaeb768bb4424770e88494-lane61-womens-progesterone-micronized-hero-1200-873f3e0e0df533a2.webp) ### Progesterone Capsules Capsule · 100 mg / 200 mg [Explore Progesterone Capsules](https://www.vitalsvault.com/treatments/womens-progesterone-micronized?audience=women&source=catalog) ## Your questions, answered. How is this different from oral or patch oestrogen? This works locally on vaginal tissue with minimal absorption into the bloodstream. It treats dryness and discomfort but does not address hot flushes or the other systemic symptoms of menopause. How soon will I notice a difference? Comfort often improves within two to three weeks. Tissue changes continue over several months of consistent use. Do I need progesterone alongside it? Generally no, because systemic absorption is minimal. Your clinician will confirm this against your history. What should I report? Any unexplained vaginal bleeding needs to reach your clinician promptly. Local irritation in the first weeks is common and usually settles. ## Start your plan today 84-day supply · $119 every 84 days [Start assessment](https://www.vitalsvault.com/checkout/medications/app?plan=1edea146-2ba8-4cfd-8377-1d37511264e6&gender=female&flow=payment-first&skipWelcome=true&source=treatments) ## The clinicians behind your care Your treatment is reviewed and prescribed by US-licensed clinicians in our network. ![Diana Kumar, MD, FACOG](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/diana-kumar-md-c56d4b361d5774a7.webp) ### Diana Kumar, MD, FACOG Women's hormone health Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
