Have you seen all the attention that hormone therapy is getting lately?

Everyone seems to be getting on the menopause and HT “bandwagon”. Maybe you've been chatting about this with your friends and wondering if it's right for you? While all the information may seem overwhelming,  there is compelling new research appearing everyday that supports the health benefits and low risks of HRT. It can be effective for managing menopausal symptoms and important for total body health as we age. 

While HT may not be right for every woman, some forms of estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone may be beneficial. Learning about HT is a great opportunity to have a conversation with your practitioner, take control of your health, and decide if this is right for you. We're happy to point you towards trusted resources; please don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re ready to dip your toes into HT, there is an easy option and one that is safe, affordable, beneficial for all women; vaginal estradiol.

Vaginal estradiol can be helpful if you’re experiencing painful sex and frequent UTI’s. Did you know that UTI's are one of the main reasons older women get admitted to the hopsital? Which is why it’s super important to help maintain your urinary tract and pelvic floor health as long as you live. Why suffer with frequent UTi’s and take antibiotics that ruin your gut health when you can take preventative measures?

 Vaginal estradiol may be right for you if you experience any of the following: 

• vaginal dryness, irritation, itching ,burning

• lack of lubrication

• discomfort or pain with sex

• lack of libido 

• pelvic pain or pressure

• painful urination

• urinary urgency or burning 

• recurrent urinary tract infections 

Getting access to vaginal estradiol is easy once your provider gives you a prescription.  Any pharmacy, including on-line ones can fill a prescription. A 90 day supply should cost around $13. 

This simple step can have life-changing, long-term impact on your health, relationships and happiness.
