Estradiol Vaginal Cream

Posted by bbeebe1943 @bbeebe1943, Nov 30, 2021

Has anyone experienced bad side effects from using Estradiol cream? My urologist wants me to take it for very frequent nighttime urination. Anyone have hair loss that you believe is from using iti? Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Menopause Support Group.

I want to add comment about using estrogen cream (or other form of estrogen) for treatment . If you have had breast cancer, check with provider / oncologist before using any product with estrogen.

It may be OK in your situation, depends on type of breast cancer and type of treatment.

You do not want to solve one problem and cause another.

For the record, the studies are showing that the estradiol cream is not absorbed into the bloodstream, thereby having very little risk of a BC recurrence.

Well its great you have gone to the doctors and they have ruled out an UTI and, I presume, a prolapse. Perhaps you could drink during the day....make a goal of some kind and then decrease the fluids in early evening. Most of us don't drink enough water anyway. Melatonin never worked for me.....magnesium glycinate is calming but start with only 1 per day...I switched that one from night to morning.

I don't think anything can overcome a racing mind and what we really need is sleep. May I suggest advil pm maybe...lots of older people I know rely on that for better sleep. I don't use it because it is ototoxic. You sound like me...bladder doesn't wake me up...I just wake up, and, like you get up.

Let me know how you do on your journey to restful sleep and if you find something that work's for you.

Sweet dreams

@imallears I would never take Advil (ibuprofen) due to the negative effects on the kidneys. If a person is already slightly dehydrated it can increase the potentially negative effects. Many people end up in the hospital every year due to ibuprofen damaged kidneys. The damage caused by ibuprofen can be irreversible. Do not take advice from strangers from a website without talking to your doctor first. Not all over the counter medications are safe to use and no one knows your medical history well enough to provide you safe advice.
