How it works
Post-menopausal oestrogen decline causes vaginal atrophy and loss of Lactobacillus colonisation, increasing urinary pH and pathogen adherence. Topical oestrogen reverses these changes.
Requires prescription. Topical application results in minimal systemic absorption, suitable for many women who cannot take systemic HRT. Not for women with certain hormone-sensitive cancers.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
