What Is Estring (Estradiol) Vaginal Ring?

Estring medication is a flexible vaginal ring that belongs to a class of drugs known as estrogen replacement. It is beneficial for women who are experiencing moderate to severe menopausal changes like vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation. Its generic alternative is the Estradiol vaginal ring which steadily releases estrogen in the vagina for three months.

Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a hormone necessary for various body processes. During menopause, estrogen levels drop as the ovaries stop releasing the hormone. As a result, the vagina becomes thin, dry, and sometimes inflamed(vaginal atrophy). Also, this can result in inadequate vaginal fluid, making intercourse uncomfortable.

When Estring vaginal ring is used correctly and absorbed into the bloodstream, it works by increasing estrogen levels to help reduce symptoms of menopause, thereby relieving moderate to severe symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

Estring (Estradiol) Vaginal Ring Precaution

The following are the Estring precautions that should not be neglected:

When progestin is added for ten or more days during an estrogen administration cycle, studies have shown there is a smaller risk of having overgrowth in the lining of the endometrium, which may be a precursor for endometrial cancer. However, taking progestin with estrogen may increase the possibility of developing breast cancer compared to estrogen-alone therapy. Make sure to perform breast self-examination monthly and yearly by a healthcare professional.

Your risk of developing uterine cancer may rise if you only use estrogen. Watch out for unusual vaginal bleeding after menopause, as this is a classic sign of uterine cancer.

According to a study of women 65 years of age and older, using estrogens, whether they are combined with progestin or not, may raise your risk of developing dementia.

Using an estrogen-alone regimen can increase your risk of having a stroke or blood clots. However, using estrogen plus progestin medication may increase the possibility of getting a heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, or blood clots. Make sure to inform your doctor if you have any of the following:

  • High blood pressure Diabetes Mellitus
  • Tobacco use
  • High cholesterol
  • Obesity
  • History of venous thromboembolism (clot in deep vein of legs)
  • Obesity
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Monitor blood pressure regularly when using this ring, as this can increase blood pressure levels.

Estrogen therapy may increase plasma triglycerides in women who already have hypertriglyceridemia, which can result in pancreatitis. Treatment should be discontinued when pancreatitis develops.

Note that in postmenopausal women, using this vaginal ring may increase the chance of developing gallbladder illnesses that need surgery.

Patients with breast cancer and bone metastases using estrogen therapy may develop severe hypercalcemia. If this occurs, call your doctor for appropriate treatment.

Using estrogen therapy may cause retinal vascular thrombosis. Watch out for symptoms like:

  • Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
  • Sudden onset of bulging eyes, double vision , or migraine

Use caution when using this medication with patients with a history of liver impairment because estrogen will be hard to metabolize with impaired liver function.

When estrogen is administered, thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) levels rise. Make sure to monitor thyroid function regularly.

Conditions that can make you susceptible to vaginal irritation are as follow:

  • Narrow vagina
  • Vaginal stenosis (narrowing of vagina due to scarring)
  • Prolapse (when the top of the vagina collapses into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles)
  • Vaginal infection

This medicine is contraindicated for patients allergic to Estradiol and its inactive ingredients. You should seek medical attention as soon as allergic reactions occur.

Before using this vaginal medication, make sure to fully disclose your medical history to your doctor, especially if you have the following:

  • Heart disease
  • Liver problems (jaundice)
  • Kidney or gallbladder problems
  • Asthma
  • Seizure disorder
  • Migraines
  • Lupus
  • Diabetes
  • Residual endometriosis after uterus removal
  • Recurrent swelling of skin and mucous membranes Porphyria
  • Low parathyroid hormone levels

Letting them know your health conditions will help them decide if this medicine is safe for you.
