Estriol suppository
Function and Efficacy
Estriol is a metabolite of estradiol in the body and is a natural estrogen that mainly exists in urine. Its effect is weaker than that of estradiol. It mainly acts on the vulva and cervix, causing the vaginal epithelium to proliferate and thicken and restore the physiological pH value of the vagina, which is beneficial for the treatment of urogenital atrophy and atrophic vaginitis caused by estrogen deficiency after menopause.
