What the literature reports
NICE NG23 reports that local (vaginal) oestrogen improves vaginal symptoms and sexual function, and describes offering local vaginal oestrogen to women with urogenital atrophy, including those already using systemic HRT.

Notes
'Reduced sexual desire and function' needs an entities entry (kind: symptom); id not invented. Evidence cited only via guideline (→ insufficient study quality). Related entities: vaginal-estrogen (intervention) and genitourinary-syndrome-menopause (symptom); the vaginal-estrogen-for-GSM intervention would be a distinct entry.
