摘要
The implications of estrogen depletion on the lower urinary tract and vagina are relevant to the urologist treating women with genitourinary symptoms. The main symptoms of vaginal estrogen depletion that affect women are dyspareunia and vaginal dryness, recurrent urinary tract infection, and lower urinary tract symptoms. Vaginal estrogen can be used to effectively treat these conditions. Vaginal estrogen is available in a variety of formulations. Each formulation has different considerations regarding its use and patients should be actively involved in choosing the right product for them. Contrary to concerns over the risks of oral estrogen, vaginal estrogen has a low-risk profile. In terms of contra-indications for use, there are relatively few absolute contraindications for vaginal estrogen. A thorough understanding of vaginal estrogen's safety, efficacy and correct use is essential to the urologist treating the post-menopausal female.
