Estradiol (a form of estrogen) is a female sex hormone necessary for many processes in the
body. Estradiol vaginal products release estrogen that is absorbed directly through the skin of the
vaginal wall.
Estradiol topical is used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as dryness, burning, and
itching of the vaginal area and urgency or irritation with urination.
Estradiol may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
