Low-dose vaginal oestrogens are effective in treating post-menopausal urogenital atrophy without inducing endometrial proliferation. We aimed to assess whether this dichotomic effect could be the result of a preferential vagina-to-urethra transfer via a counter-current transfer of oestrogens from vagina to the arterial blood supplying the urethra. Due to the impossibility of obtaining blood samples from urethral arteries, and since the nature of counter-current exchange of substances is similar to the transfer of heat, we investigated cold transfer throughout the anterior vaginal wall to the vesical trigone and urethra.
