Women having surgery for pelvic organ prolapse are often prescribed vaginal estrogen to boost the odds of a successful procedure. Now a clinical trial shows it doesn't actually work.
Dr. Dara Shalom, associate chief of urogynecology at Northwell Health in New York, had similar observations.
"However," she added, "it has not been shown to have an effect on surgical success rates or prolapse recurrence." At the outset, 55% of patients said they had bothersome symptoms of vaginal atrophy. And those who used estrogen cream reported a bigger improvement over the next year: On average, they moved from "moderate bother" to "no bother."
