Question:
My doctor is wanting to start me on oral estrogen for vaginal/vulva dryness and burning. I have read extensively about natural estrogen and want to ask for this, rather than premarin. What should I ask for exactly? Thank you.
Answer:
You are entirely correct and should have natural estrogen. You need to request estradiol (brand name Estrace). The Best way to treat vaginal/vulvar dryness is to also take the estradiol in a vaginal cream form under the brand name Estrace VAginal Cream or Femring.
