Vaginal Estrogen Care- 3 Month Program

Initial Hormone Consultation $180

Your consultation fee will be credited toward the 3 month program when you enroll within 30 days. If you decide not to move forward with the 3 month program, the consultation fee is non-refundable

This program provides medical evaluation, treatment planning, and ongoing care for vaginal and urinary symptoms related to low estrogen, including vaginal dryness, irritation, discomfort with intimacy, recurrent urinary symptoms, and tissue thinning.

Vaginal estrogen therapy is a safe, effective, non-systemic treatment for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).

Because tissue healing takes time, care is provided in structured 3-month medical treatment programs to allow for meaningful symptom improvement and tissue restoration. This is not intended as a one-month trial.

    • Insurance coverage for vaginal estrogen varies by plan and may be denied.

    • Patients are responsible for all pharmacy charges, copays, or cash pricing.

    This practice does not generate insurance-coded documentation for medication coverage, and insurance approval or reimbursement for FDA-approved vaginal estrogen is not guaranteed. Some patients prefer compounded therapy for consistency and convenience.

    • Medical consultation, treatment planning, and clinical oversight fees are non-refundable once services have been rendered.

    Compounded Vaginal Estrogen

    • Compounded vaginal estrogen is prepared specifically for the patient and coordinated through a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy.

    • Once compounded medication has been dispensed or shipped, program fees are non-refundable, as compounded prescriptions cannot be returned or reused.

    • If cancellation occurs before compounded medication fulfillment, a partial refund may be considered at the provider’s discretion, less the cost of services already rendered.

    FDA-Approved Vaginal Estrogen (Retail Pharmacy)

    • FDA-approved vaginal estrogen prescriptions are sent to the patient’s chosen retail pharmacy.

    • Medication costs are billed directly by the pharmacy and are subject to the pharmacy’s own dispensing and return policies.

    • Insurance coverage, copays, and pricing are determined solely by the patient’s insurer and pharmacy and are not controlled by this practice.

Local, Non-Systemic Support for Vaginal & Urinary Health

Many women notice changes in vaginal comfort long before menopause — dryness, irritation, discomfort with intimacy, or frequent urinary symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere.

These changes are not a normal part of aging.They are often a sign that vaginal tissue is no longer receiving enough estrogen.

Vaginal estrogen is a simple, local therapy designed to restore tissue health where symptoms are happening, without affecting the rest of the body.

What Happens When Estrogen Declines

Estrogen helps keep vaginal and urinary tissues:

  • Soft and elastic

  • Well-lubricated

  • Thick and resilient

  • Protected by a healthy microbiome

As estrogen levels fall — during perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, breastfeeding, or hormonal suppression — these tissues can become thinner, drier, and more fragile.

This can lead to symptoms many women quietly live with for years.

Symptoms Vaginal Estrogen Can Help Improve

  • Vaginal dryness or irritation

  • Burning or rawness

  • Pain or discomfort with intimacy

  • Recurrent urinary tract infections

  • Urinary urgency or frequent urination

  • Micro-tears or bleeding after sex

  • Feeling less stretch or comfort vaginally

If any of these sound familiar, vaginal estrogen may help.

How Vaginal Estrogen Is Different

Vaginal estrogen is not the same as systemic hormone therapy.

It uses a very low dose, applied directly to the vaginal tissue, to support:

  • Tissue thickness and elasticity

  • Natural moisture and lubrication

  • Healthy vaginal pH

  • A balanced vaginal microbiome

  • Stronger bladder and urethral support

Because it works locally, it does not significantly raise estrogen levels in the bloodstream.

What About Safety?

Low-dose vaginal estrogen has been extensively studied and is widely supported by medical organizations.

Research shows:

  • Blood estrogen levels remain low

  • It does not behave like systemic hormone therapy

  • It has not been shown to increase breast cancer mortality

For many women, this makes vaginal estrogen one of the safest and most effective options for long-term vaginal and urinary health.

Who Can Use Vaginal Estrogen?

Vaginal estrogen may be appropriate if you are experiencing symptoms — regardless of age.

Women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond often benefit, especially if symptoms are affecting comfort, intimacy, or quality of life.

It can be used:

  • On its own

  • Alongside hormone therapy

  • Even if you are not ready for systemic hormones
