Yes -- there is obviously no infection whatsoever. My concern is whether this cream will eradicate the pressure on my bladder and how fast that would most likely occur. I suppose when dealing with estrogen it takes at least a few weeks?
is that your understanding as well? Thank you for your medical input----

Do you think there is a possibility Estrace cream could make these problematic issues I described in my other question worse because it is affecting hormones or would the body eventually accept the changes?

If all issue are due to menopause

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again and apologize for late replay.

I understand your health issue but please be clam because to much stress can make you feel worse and can aggravate your symptoms.

If all your signs and symptoms are due to menopause than estrace cream will make you feel better.

You should wait about four applications to feel better but as I write above it vary from person and from symptoms.

Use of estrace cream help to regulate hormones on your body,hence don;t worry.

All the best

Thank you for your input. The final question is I have asthma which is induced by fluctuating hormone levels. I am perfectly fine until the hormones fluctuate. Will this continue to get better as I go farther into post menopause and my hormones become stable? Thank you

Thank you and know I appreciate an intelligent insightful responds. Too bad more doctors do not comprehend all women face during the transitional phases women go through hormonally.
