What is Blissel?

Blissel is a vaginal gel containing the bio-identical hormone estriol. This hormone closely resembles the oestrogen naturally produced by your body. During menopause, oestrogen levels decline, which can result in symptoms such as recurrent thrush, urinary tract infections, vaginal dryness, or discharge. Blissel is a hormone therapy designed to relieve these symptoms by improving the health and elasticity of the vaginal lining. The gel works locally and is only available with a prescription.
