It is not officially a medical term, but is sometimes used to explain certain aspects of the menopause transition in lay terms.

Premarin Vaginal Cream (conjugated estrogens) is a mixture of estrogen hormones used to treat the vaginal symptoms of menopause such as dryness, burning, irritation, and painful sexual intercourse. Estrogen is a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries. Common side effects include nausea/vomiting, bloating, breast tenderness, headache, or weight changes.
Premarin Vaginal Cream is administered intravaginally in a cyclic regimen (daily for 21 days and then off for 7 days). The usual starting dosage strength is 0.5 g. Adjustments may be made based on individual response. Premarin Vaginal Cream may interact with blood thinners, thyroid medications, insulin or diabetes medicine taken by mouth, rifampin, ketoconazole or itraconazole, seizure medicines, barbiturates, or antidepressants. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Premarin Vaginal Cream must not be used during pregnancy. This medication passes into breast milk.

Premarin Vaginal Cream Consumer Information: Uses
This medication is a female hormone. It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. When treating only vaginal symptoms of menopause, products applied directly inside the vagina (such as this medication) should be used first. Estrogens that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected may have greater risks of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.
