EMAS clinical guide: low-dose vaginal estrogens for postmenopausal vaginal atrophy

Abstract

Vaginal atrophy is common in postmenopausal women. This clinical guide provides the evidence for the clinical use of vaginal estrogens for this condition focussing on publications since the 2006 Cochrane systematic review. Use after breast cancer, before assessment of cervical cytology and prolapse surgery is also discussed.
