What are the benefits of vaginal estrogen?

Estrogen is a hormone secreted by the female body. It is because of the effect of estrogen that women have female characteristics and their reproductive organs function normally. Of course, sometimes in life, the secretion of estrogen in women's bodies will be affected by many factors, leading to a decrease in estrogen secretion. At this time, the body should be treated in time. So, what are the benefits of vaginal estrogen?

1. Promote the development of endometrium, thicken muscles, increase blood circulation, enhance uterine contraction, and increase the sensitivity of uterine smooth muscle to oxytocin.

2. Estrogen can promote the deposition of calcium in the epiphysis, and during adolescence, the bones can be closed under the influence of estrogen. But during menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, and the body lacks estrogen, which makes osteoporosis more likely to occur. This is one of the main reasons why elderly women are prone to fractures.

3. Under the action of estrogen, the endometrium undergoes periodic proliferative changes, thus forming a unique menstrual cycle for women. When menstruation is delayed, infrequent, or very light, it is possible that there has been an abnormal change in estrogen levels, most of which is due to insufficient estrogen secretion.

4. Estrogen shapes the beauty of women. Delicate skin, plump body, towering breasts, unique curves, etc. are all closely related to estrogen. Estrogen causes the mammary glands to proliferate and the nipples and areolas to pigment. Estrogen also promotes the development of secondary sexual characteristics, making women mature and showing the charm of a young girl.

5. Estrogen can relax the cervical opening, significantly increase the secretion of cervical mucus, make it thinner, and easily pulled into threads, which is very beneficial for the passage of sperm. Clinically, some women have vaginal dryness, which is often a manifestation of low estrogen. During ovulation, due to the effect of estrogen, vaginal secretions often increase significantly and thread-like phenomenon occurs.

6. Estrogen is necessary for the development of follicles. It plays a certain role in the development from primordial follicles to mature follicles and helps the ovaries store cholesterol. If estrogen levels are low, anovulation, or ovulation but inability to conceive, often occurs. Estrogen can also control the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin through positive and negative feedback regulation on the hypothalamus.
