Estriol the mucosal hormone

One of our hormones, a estrogen, is also called the "bladder hormone".

This is because it is a mucous membrane hormone, which contributes to the proper functioning of the bladder. Estriol not only keeps the bladder clean from bacteria, but also helps to keep the bladder muscles firm.

If you suffer from frequent bladder infection, a too low level of estriol could be the cause. This also applies to problems with the respiratory tract, dry eyes, mouth, skin or a feeling of a "head of cotton wool". A fall in estriol can cause these symptoms.
Women around the transition often have the feeling of a dry vagina wall. The blood circulation in the skin is reduced, which can lead to poor and burning skin. This makes community painful and uncomfortable. No fun for women.

We have some tips for you:

  • Note which tampons, sanitary napkins and panties you use. Choose products without chlorine, because dioxin, which is a residual product of chlorine, can disturb the mucous membranes and can lead to skin irritation and pain. Prefer to use a menstrual cup, disc or washable products.
  • Avoid using soap; Only use water while showering.
  • Many common lubricants contain glycerine that provides a slippery effect. Unfortunately, the moisture extracts from the vagina wall, making it feel even drier after intercourse. It also disrupts the acidity, making the sheath more susceptible to fungal infections.
  • Try coconut oil; You probably know the hard white spread that is also used in the kitchen. It becomes liquid at warmer temperatures and therefore also in contact with your skin.
     Coconut oil is mold -resistant, bactericidal and works as a pleasant lubricant for both men and women. It is soothing with burning or irritated skin.
    Choose organic coconut oil, available at supermarkets and drug stores.
