Estrace cream question

[tiger54]

i'm 11 mo post op and my gyno gave me some estrace cream to help with granulation.  Thankfully that's all cleared up but i was wondering if there would be any benefit - hormone boost or otherwise - maybe more mucosal IDW by inserting it (with the syringe it comes with) in my vagina?

Be aware that because it does contain estrogen - not in very high amounts, but the absorption via mucosal tissue might mean a lot of it ends up in the bloodstream - that it's effectively the same as raising your overall estrogen dosage. (Meaning, don't try this without at least informing and ideally checking with your doctor.)
