It’s a personal decision for sure. I was just saying that it was my understanding that the estrogen isn’t just for dryness, but also promotes bladder health that an oil wouldn’t provide. My mom has such terrible pelvic/bladder health….omg. It’s horrific. And, my two best friends have huge frequency issues. It seems I’m surrounded by many women who suffer with these issues after menopause. I am so fortunate. I have no idea why. I took oral contraceptives for many years. Does that impact it?

I hope I started the local estrogen in time to preserve my pelvic health.

Definitely for bladder health, also. The estrace is not absorbed the same way other hormones are, so I’m told by my gynecologist. The gynourologist I see did a botox (medical grade not cosmetic) injections (lots of numbing, no pain) into my bladder. Wow! Helped the urgency 100%. It can last 3 to 6 months, paid for by Medicare and my supplement.
