“Vaginal oestrogen is safe, effective & easy to use,” says Dr Carol Thomas, gynaecologist and President of the South African Menopause Society.
“The changes that happen in the body as a result of menopause are normal, and there is no need to suffer in silence. Women need to be encouraged to ask for assistance, and not to be embarrassed. Convenient treatments are available and consumers need to speak to their doctor or pharmacist about their options.”
