Re: DHEA Therapy for vaginal atrophy
Dianne, thanks a lot for the info. I will keep it in mind.
In the article the onco gave me regarding this med, and the article goes on to say "...they suggest that DHEA is converted within vaginal epithelial cells to physiological estradiol where it produces the desired estrogen effect. Estradiol is not released systemically, and the deleterious effects attributed to systemic estradial are avoided."
But I will continue to do my research.
