CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- As reported in a recent issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, women suffering from feminine dryness due to menopause can alleviate symptoms by using Replens Long-Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer, instead of relying on estrogen treatments, which may carry harmful side effects.
"In a randomized trial, a polycarbophil-based vaginal moisturizer available over the counter (Replens) provided relief of vaginal symptoms that was equivalent to that of vaginal estrogen ...," stated the article from the Nov. 30th, issue entitled "Management of Menopausal Symptoms," by Deborah Grady, M.D., M.P.H. "Oral phytoestrogens have not proved to be effective for the treatment of vaginal symptoms."
Several studies over the past few years have raised concerns over the use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and this article confirmed that women did not need to resort to hormones for the treatment of vaginal dryness as the over-the-counter solution Replens is equally effective.
Vaginal dryness is one of the most common concerns of menopausal women. Symptoms of vaginal dryness include irritation, itching, burning, and soreness. If left untreated, this condition can lead to more serious problems such as vaginitis, bleeding, urinary discomfort, bladder infections, and painful intercourse.
Replens Vaginal Moisturizer is an estrogen-free, long-lasting vaginal moisturizer. One treatment delivers continuous moisture for three days, providing safe, effective, and soothing relief and helps vaginal tissues to regenerate.
