    Apply a small amount of estriol cream to the area.  This can be used on urethra and anus.  It stays localized so there is no risk for those who fear using estrogen.  I learned of this from a book called "The Wisdom of Menopause" by Dr. Christiane Northrup.  I had early bladder leakage, and I'm not good at keeping up with Kegel exercises, so I gave it a try.  It worked!  I use it now once a week and have no worries about leakage.  Apparently, the estrogen strengthens the muscle and keeps the skin from thinning.  I'm 67 years old.
