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. Phillip Warner, M.D. |
