What are my estrogen therapy options?
There are several different types of estrogen therapy including patches, pills, topicals, and the ring. While all hormone therapies have similarities, there are differences in dosage strength, delivery (patch, pill, topical products, or vaginal ring), indication (used for the treatment of symptoms associated with menopause, such as vaginal dryness or hot flashes, and/or for osteoporosis prevention), regimen (combination therapy, estrogen-only therapy) and frequency (every day, twice a week, etc). Some therapies include a combination of hormones, while others are estrogen only.
