Vaginal oestrogen is a type of HRT for those going through perimenopause and suffering from dryness and irritation, which are common symptoms. The medication is also very effective at reducing recurrent urine infections (UTIs) after menopause, but a new study has found that this treatment may have even more health benefits.
GP Dr Amir Khan, who is a frequent guest on This Morning and Lorraine, and woman&home's own resident GP, took to social media to talk through the study's results. He said it was one of the "biggest women's health studies of the year" and it could "change how we think about vaginal oestrogen".
