Vaginal Estrogen Is Safe

What You Should Know About Vaginal Estrogen (FDA Update November 2025)

For years, women were scared away from a treatment that is safe, effective, and one of the most powerful tools we have for vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary symptoms, and recurrent UTIs.
⁣
Here’s the truth:
Low-dose vaginal estrogen works locally, not systemically. It does not raise estrogen levels in the bloodstream, and it does not carry the same risks as systemic hormone therapy.
⁣
This change from the FDA finally reflects the science we’ve had for decades:
✅ No increased breast cancer risk
✅ No increase in stroke or blood clots
✅ No need for progesterone
✅ Safe for long-term use
⁣
