Estrogens work partly by increasing a normal clear discharge from the vagina and making the vulva and urethra healthy. Estrogens used vaginally at very low doses for treating local problems of the genitals and urinary system will not protect against osteoporosis or stop the hot flushes caused by menopause. In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of using the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
Estrogens pass into the breast milk.
