About Estring

Estring is classed as a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It contains estradiol, which acts in the same way as the female sex hormone estrogen and is used to treat the symptoms of menopause. It is used in postmenopausal women to treat vulvar and vaginal atrophy due to menopause. This includes vaginal dryness, soreness, itching, pain during sexual intercourse and yeast infection or urinary tract infections.

If levels of estrogen only are increased during HRT treatment, the endometrium would grow excessively, causing an increased risk of endometrial cancer. If you have not had a hysterectomy you will be prescribed a progestogen with Estring.

NowPatient offers Estring as a treatment for HRT only, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.
