Estradiol is the most potent and predominant form of estrogen in the human body. It is a steroid hormone that plays vital roles in sexual and reproductive development, mainly in females.
Some key points about estradiol:
- Produced primarily by the ovaries, estradiol levels fluctuate through the menstrual cycle and peak just before ovulation. It prepares the body for pregnancy.
- Estradiol is also essential for the health of tissues like bone, brain, heart, skin etc. It regulates processes like gene transcription and cell metabolism.
- Deficiency can cause issues like infertility, osteoporosis, heart disease, etc. Excess is also harmful. Hence, maintaining optimal levels is crucial. This is where hormone therapy or medications can help.
- Bioidentical estradiol is chemically the same molecule produced by ovaries. It is often used for treating menopausal symptoms likes hot flashes, vaginal dryness etc. when natural estrogen levels decline. Brands like Estrace provide bioidentical estradiol.
- Levels can be determined through blood tests. These help diagnose issues like early menopause, ovarian failure etc. so that suitable treatment can be initiated under medical guidance.
