I began estrogen in coconut oil for chronic perineal pain and chronic urinary tract infections which eventually lead to my having to retire early. I cannot tolerate estrogen in any other base than coconut oil. The topical therapy has changed the PH of my perineal area which discourages bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. I have had none since I started the therapy. Also, it has lead to a COMPLETE HEALING OF MY CHRONIC PAIN in that area. I cannot believe powers greater than myself would ever consider taking this medication from me.
