Migraines with auras present a unique challenge, especially when it comes to hormonal birth control options. The link between estrogen-based contraceptives and increased risk in women experiencing these types of migraines is rooted in vascular health and the propensity for blood clots.

Menopause brings numerous changes to a woman's body, and one less-discussed aspect is the increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). A recent question in my DMs perfectly encapsulates this concern: How does the lack of estrogen during menopause contribute to a higher incidence of UTIs?

Another type of vaginal estrogen-the CREAM! You can either use the applicator to insert it or just put a little on your finger and rub it in!

This vaginal ring has 3 months worth of estrogen in it! It’s easy to insert. You won't feel it. You won't feel it during sex. You don't need to remove it. It's really easy. And if you don't want to be applying medication every day or every week, or you're not going to remember this, the E-string is great because it lasts for three months.

There are three most common myths of vaginal estrogen.

1. That it's going to cause breast cancer or some other type of cancer.

2. That it's the same as regular systemic hormone therapy.

3. That you cannot use it with systemic hormone therapy.
