Description

What Are Vagifem Vaginal Tablets?

Vagifem is a prescription medication used by women to help in reducing vaginal symptoms that are caused when the body produces less estrogen. It is also used to treat abnormal changes such as burning sensation or itchiness around the vagina.

How Does Vagifem Vaginal Tablets Work?

Estrogen is a hormone associated with female development during puberty and the reproductive cycle. It plays a significant role in the body from emotional wellbeing to bone health. There are a variety of reasons that can cause estrogen levels to change in women of all ages, however, both a decline or dominance of estrogen in the body can lead to a variety of health concerns and symptoms. For instance, high levels may cause weight gain, severe premenstrual syndrome or low mood in females, while a decline can cause changes in the vagina such as dryness, itchiness or pain during intercourse. Vagifem is a form of hormone replacement therapy that works by releasing oestradiol hormone, to balances estrogen levels in the vagina.
