Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

If you want to insert Estradiol vaginally for HRT, then you should AVOID sexual intercourse up to 72 hrs as your partner may absorb the medicine through his penis. Latex condom SHOULDN'T be used during this time also. Maintain genital hygiene properly.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
