A member asked:

I'm 52 years old post menapausal. i'm thinking about using estrogen suppositories. are they safe to use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely, if...: Estrogen suppository use is absolutely an appropriate way to help resolve vaginal lubricity problems and thinning epithelium with pain during intercourse. First, your MD must be certain that you do not have any estrogen dependent cancers which include breast, vaginal or cervical by examination and testing.
