Vaginal Atrophy (Atrophic Vaginitis)

Women who have the following problems should not take estrogen:

• Unexplained vaginal bleeding

• Chronic or active liver disease

• Breast cancer

• Endometrial cancer

• Recent blood clots or a history of blood clots

In addition, women with migraine headaches, gallbladder disease, high blood pressure or endometriosis may not be candidates for estrogen therapy. If you have these problems, you should discuss the issue with your doctor.

Women who cannot use estrogen may use a water-soluble vaginal lubricant as needed to relieve vaginal dryness and moisten tissue.
