Why would a 23 yeard old woman be told to take Estrace for a while and what does it do?

Question

What does taking Estrace mean is wrong with you?

I've had some dryness and it would hurt upon insertion during sex where some of my skin I guess would get irritated and it would rub off, and sometimes bleed.

Answer 1

A lady that is 23 that is using Estrace cream (which is an estrogen cream) may be using it to help treat certain aspects of a condition called vulvodynia. She may have the kind that is called vestibulodynia (pain of the vestibular gland) formerly known as vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (and this can cause inflammation in some as well as dryness).

I sometimes use Estrace cream to help dry skin in my vulvar area that got caused by a surgical procedure to the area.

By using the estrogen cream it can help bring moisture back to that area.
