How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone naturally produced by the body, playing a crucial role in numerous physiological processes. This hormone is utilized in a specially formulated vaginal cream, designed to treat a range of conditions such as menopausal symptoms, vaginal atrophy, and vulvovaginal atrophy. The cream, containing 13 mg/gm of DHEA, is intended for direct application to the affected area once daily for a duration of up to 12 weeks.

Upon application, DHEA is absorbed through the skin and metabolized into other hormones, including testosterone and estradiol. These hormones contribute to the alleviation of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Additionally, they aid in reducing the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, which may include itching, burning, and discomfort during sexual intercourse.

DHEA is also employed in the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy, a condition characterized by the thinning of the vaginal walls and decreased lubrication. The 13 mg/gm DHEA vaginal cream works by enhancing the thickness of the vaginal walls and improving lubrication, thereby mitigating the symptoms of this condition.

It is crucial to understand that DHEA is not a hormone replacement therapy and should not be used as a substitute for such treatments. Before initiating DHEA treatment, it is highly recommended to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it is the appropriate treatment option for your specific condition.

If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its mechanism of action, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to assisting you in finding the most suitable treatment for your condition.
