Q: Which moisturizer would be safe for me as a cancer survivor?

Q: Which moisturizer would be safe for me as a cancer survivor?

by Dr. Barb DePree MD


All of the vaginal lubricants and moisturizers we carry are safe for women who have had uterine or breast cancer. None of them contains soy.

Soy is converted to an estrogen-like substance in about 25 percent of women who ingest it, that is, about 25 percent of us have an enzyme in our GI tract that converts soy to an estrogen-like substance. It is only oral/ingested soy that may be a concern to you; the vagina doesn’t function in the same way.
