Premarin Vaginal Cream can be used to alleviate osteoporosis and the symptoms of vaginal discomfort that may arise with menopause.
During the menopause, the levels of estrogen in the body decrease. This may lead to a sensation of increased heat over the face, neck, and chest (hot flashes).
As a result of lower estrogen levels, there may be changes inside the vagina and on the labia. The condition can cause sensations of dryness, itching or burning. It can also cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.
As well, women in menopause run higher risks of developing osteoporosis (bone density loss) that can result in the increased risk of fractures.
The usual recommended treatment for these conditions is known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or sometimes postmenopausal hormone therapy. HRT works by replenishing the diminishing levels of estrogen hormone in menopausal women. HRT also works to regulate secretions of luteinizing hormones (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) that are involved in the menstrual cycle and are necessary for regular sexual function. This helps to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
Premarin Vaginal Cream is a member of the class of drugs known as estrogen derivatives, which contain conjugated estrogens and provide the hormone replacement required in HRT. It works by supplying the estrogen hormones that have been reduced in menopausal women. It will alleviate both the symptoms associated with the changes in and around the vagina, and will supplement the overall levels of estrogen in order to prevent osteoporosis.
Premarin is one of the main drugs used to deliver hormonal replacement therapy for women in menopause. As published by the independant organization Women’s Health Concern, it has been established that “it remains the most effective solution for the relief of menopausal symptoms and is also effective for the prevention of osteoporosis. It may in certain age groups provide protection against heart disease.”
Premarin cream delivers multiple benefits. In the first place, the cream directly soothes the affected areas around the vagina that have become irritated, dry or inflamed due to the fall in levels of estrogen. At the same time, it is delivering supplemental HRT estrogen to alleviate the causes of these symptoms, as well as to prevent the onset of osteoporosis.
