Which menopausal symptoms are most effectively treated with estrogen therapy?
Estrogen therapy, specifically with estradiol, is the most effective treatment for several common and disruptive menopausal symptoms. Here at Alloy, we offer a range of FDA-approved, plant-based, bioidentical estradiol products that are proven to provide significant relief. The menopausal symptoms most effectively treated with estrogen therapy include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort (including painful sex)
- Prevention of osteoporosis (bone fragility)
- Mood swings, depression, and anxiety
- Sleep disruption and fatigue
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Bladder issues (such as urgency, frequency, and recurrent UTIs)
- Joint pain
- Low libido
- Facial acne
Systemic estrogen therapy (like estradiol pills, patches, sprays, and gels) is especially effective for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep issues, and bone health. Localized vaginal estrogen (like estradiol vaginal cream) is best for vaginal and bladder symptoms.
