Indications
Estriol cream is indicated for the defficiency of estrogen. During menopause, the amount of estrogens produced by a woman’s body gradually drops. Shortage of estrogens causes the vaginal wall to become thin and dry which leads to painful sexual intercourse. Estriol cream is used to relieve painful sexual intercourse. This is used in postmenopausal women with at least 12 months since their last natural period. If the ovaries are removed surgically (ovariectomy) before menopause, the decrease in estrogen production occurs very abruptly.
