How
DHEA/Estradiol Cream
works:
What to expect
Prior to menopause, estrogen helps to keep the skin of your vagina and vulva lubricated, thick, and elastic. For many women, the gradual drop in estrogen that happens during perimenopause and menopause can cause the vaginal walls to become thin, dry, and prone to irritation, leading to painful sex and other problems.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, can be converted to estrogen and testosterone. When used as a topical cream, it has been shown to improve symptoms of vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.
