And so if you're having those symptoms, vaginal estrogen, either in a cream, a pill, or a ring can actually, a ring that goes in the vagina can all help support the normal vaginal epithelium and the tissues to keep them healthy. And so one, it's really great for recurrent urinary tract infections. A lot of people don't know this and are getting antibiotic after antibiotic after antibiotic.

And all they really need is vaginal estrogen to help prevent UTIs. It's actually one of the highest levels of evidence we have for preventing UTIs is with vaginal estrogen. And so there's that. And then we're talking about systemic hormones.

Now, systemic hormones, at least by the book, are used for vasomotor symptoms, which are hot flashes, feeling palpitations, those sorts of symptoms that occur very commonly that people hear about and bone health. So those are kind of the most common things we know that bone health deteriorates and estrogen can prevent bone loss. So it's very helpful for that.

It's very helpful for vasomotor symptoms, but there's more and more data on, I mean, estrogen receptors are everywhere in the body. So we have estrogen receptors in the brain. We have estrogen receptors, um, that, so that can help with cognition and prevent dementia. There's some data that shows that it actually prevents dementia. There was some studies.

recently that talked about how it actually was linked with dementia, but it was because these women were started on hormones for vasomotor symptoms, which are also linked with dementia. And so there's sort of a correlation with the other things that people were starting hormones for and not the hormones themselves. So there's a sufficient amount of data that it helps with cognition.

helps with bone health, helps with, you know, somewhat of modulating weight, right? Because it helps with metabolic syndrome. So people who have hyperglycemia from insulin resistance, they actually see an improvement in their glycemia when they're on estrogen. Now, these are not reasons to, in terms of like what the...

societies say but this is the data right so it does show improvements in hyperglycemia shows improvements in metabolic syndrome shows improvements to small degrees in weight better sleep because one if you're having vasomotor symptoms or hot flashes and you're waking up at night your sleep is poor and sleep has a huge association with dementia and other issues so your sleep is better and so there's a lot of benefits to having hormone therapy
