How does Estrofem work?
Estrofem substitutes the lack of oestrogen if the forthcoming symptoms seriously hinder a woman in her daily life. By substituting oestrogen, symptoms as hot face and flushes are alleviated. Some women can also develop fragile bones during the menopause. Estrofem prevents this from happening. This medicine is especially used in women who have had their womb removed and therefore do not require a combined oestrogen/progestogen therapy.
Another treatment Estrofem is used for, is transgender therapy. Taking hormones will alter the secondary gender characteristics. These characteristics will become more pronounced which corresponds with the transgender’s gender identity.
