Do you recommend Hyaluronic Acid Therapy for vaginal dryness in female patients post pelvic RT?
How do you incorporate this into your follow-up care and how do you instruct the patient?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
I do not. Not saying you shouldn’t though. I recommend coconut oil which can be used with a vaginal dilator, for intercourse or purely for hydration. If ineffective, I will refer back to gynecology. There may be a role for topical estrogen depending on the cancer histology.
