Estring (Estradiol) 7.5mg Vaginal Ring 1 is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The active component in the Estring vaginal delivery system, estradiol hemihydrate, a naturally occurring version of the primary female sex hormone, oestrogen, is found in a vaginal ring.
As women get closer to menopause, their ovaries gradually generate less oestrogen (also known as "the transition"). Low oestrogen levels can result in symptoms like vaginal dryness, irritation, or itching, which can therefore make sexual activity difficult or irritating and raise the risk of urinary or vaginal infections.
As part of hormone replacement treatment (HRT), the Estring vaginal delivery device works locally in the vagina to maintain adequate amounts of oestrogen to reduce these symptoms in postmenopausal women. Although, other menopause symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats are not treated by it.
