I am on .05 mg- are you sure you are on 3.5?

Vaginal estrogen did not help me, but bladder training has.

I’m 50 and have been on vaginal estrodial for a week and I can tell a difference in “need” and, sorry, dripping afterwards. I have been on the patch for a while and just added vaginal.

Yes, systemic estrogen isn’t going to help your bladder. You need the vaginal estrogen for that.

For urinary frequency?

Yes. I no longer have any leakage.

Yes. Your urethra is all twitchy. Estrogen fixes that. Plus get a few weeks of pelvic floor therapy. Insurance covers get dr referral. They show you how to train your bladder. I was going every hour in the day and everybody at night. Now I wait 2-3 hours daytime and only go once at night. Still working on leaks.

I’m on 3.5 estriadol patch. Do I need more? I saw that someone mentioned vaginal estriadol
