What is it & how it works

• Estriol is a weak, naturally occurring estrogen—much gentler than estradiol or estrone. It’s often used vaginally to treat symptoms like dryness, itching, pain during sex, urinary issues, and recurrent UTIs  .
• Delivered directly via applicator (typically 0.5 mg per dose), its effect is local with minimal systemic absorption

🗓️ Typical dosing schedule

• Loading phase: Insert one applicator (≈0.5 mg) nightly for 2–4 weeks.
• Maintenance phase: Reduce to twice weekly (e.g., Mondays and Thursdays)  .
• Apply before bed, clean applicator after use  .

✅ Benefits

• Restores vaginal moisture, elasticity, and comfort during sex within 2–4 weeks; full benefits usually seen after ~3 months  .
• Helps reduce UTIs by normalizing vaginal pH and flora  .
• Low systemic exposure—unlike systemic estrogen—so it doesn’t require progesterone for uterine protection most of the time  .
