Vaginal estrogen creams: use patterns among a cohort of women

Article Abstract:

The use of vaginal estrogen creams by postmenopausal women may increase with age. Vaginal estrogen relieves the adverse urogenital changes in middle age, such as incontinence, burning, and irritation. Researchers looked at the prescription patterns of estrogen cream in 33,822 women aged at least 45 years old. Many women filed at least one or two prescriptions of vaginal estrogen cream. Of 733 women with intact uteri who were long-term users, 60% had no prescriptions for progestin yet used an annual average of 22 tubes of cream.

Endogenous estrogens were not consistently associated with cognitive performance or decline. Women with higher estrone levels performed surprisingly worse on cognitive tests.
