It also helps decrease vaginal dryness. If estrogen levels drop off, the vaginal tissue shrinks and becomes thinner. This causes dryness and inflammation. Estrogen levels normally drop after menopause. The following may also cause estrogen levels to drop: Medicines or hormones used in the treatment of breast cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, or infertility.
