What is Vaginal Hormone Therapy?

In contrast to systemic hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen can be used to treat vaginal conditions with little or no risk of systemic absorption. These conditions include vaginal dryness, painful sex, decreased vaginal elasticity, and thin vaginal walls. Vaginal hormone therapy is administered in cream, tablet, suppository, or ring form.

Estrogen

Estrogen is the most common topical vaginal hormone. By applying a small amount to the vaginal tissue daily for two weeks and then two to three times a week, women can achieve a significant improvement in the health of the vaginal condition. Because it is a topical application, systemic absorption is negligible and there is little to no risk associated with its use. This treatment is available as an extended-release insert, liquid-filled capsule, ring, cream, or tablet.

Testosterone

Testosterone can also be applied topically to the vagina. Intravaginal testosterone has been shown to restore vaginal lubrication and decrease vaginal atrophy. Regular application has also been shown to improve sensitivity and arousal. This can be administered in a cream or tablet form.

DHEA

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that the body naturally produces in the adrenal gland. It is converted by the body to both testosterone and estrogen. As such, the vagina topical application of DHEA can relieve symptoms of vaginal atrophy and dryness. DHEA can be administered in the form of a vaginal tablet or cream to treat vaginal atrophy.
