Hi Vicki
Yes, an estring is a plastic ring that's inserted. It releases 2MG estrogen over a 3-month period.
My symptoms of a prolapsed uretha were that sex felt uncomfortable and when I looked at myself (with a mirror & alot of contortions!) things didn't look right!
According to my PCP, internal organs can fall or relapse because they aren't getting enough estrogen to keep the muscles elastic that are holding them in place. The estring seems to help make things moister.
I also use astroglide for sex which is a lubricant. Before I got the estring, I tried Replens, an OTC vaginal moisturizer which doesn't contain estrogen. I'm not tested for hormonal levels. My onc. felt confident the estring had a minimal amount of estrogen and it was locally confined.
