Estriol cream is a hormone-based treatment for women going through menopause. The shortage of estrogen during menopause may cause the vaginal wall and its lining to become dry and thin. This can lead to pain during intercourse and an increase in itching/irritation which can cause infections. By replacing estrogen via the vaginal cream Estriol the patient can see a reduction in symptoms and maintain balance during menopause.

What is Estriol Cream?
Estriol cream treats the vaginal symptoms of menopause – it is a common choice of topical treatment used to treat symptoms such as vaginal inflammation, dryness and painful sex.
