What is Estring?

Estring is a prescription medication used to treat vaginal atrophy caused by the menopause. Vaginal atrophy, sometimes called atrophic vaginitis, is a drying, thinning, and inflammation of the vagina walls that can happen when the level of estrogen in your body drops. This happens most often during and after the menopause as your estrogen levels naturally fall.

If you have vaginal atrophy caused by the menopause, your doctor may prescribe Estring to you. It’s a soft, flexible ring that you insert into the upper third of your vagina. It contains estradiol, a type of estrogen, that it releases into your vagina continually over 90 days. This treats vaginal atrophy by raising estrogen levels, providing relief from your symptoms.

Estring active ingredients

The active ingredient in Estring is called estradiol, a naturally occurring type of estrogen.

Estring is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The estradiol released by your Estring replaces some of the lost estrogen and has the same effect on your body as estrogen.
