Estradiol Therapy

Meaning

Estradiol therapy is the clinical administration of exogenous 17-beta estradiol, the most biologically potent and physiologically relevant estrogen in the human body, for therapeutic purposes. It is primarily prescribed to manage the systemic and debilitating symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency, most commonly in the context of menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency. The treatment aims to restore circulating estradiol levels to a range that supports optimal function across various organ systems.
