Estrogen Monitoring

Meaning

Estrogen monitoring is the systematic, clinical practice of periodically measuring and evaluating the circulating or metabolized levels of estrogen hormones, including estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estriol (E3), to assess a patient’s endocrine status. This comprehensive surveillance is essential for managing menopausal hormone therapy, optimizing fertility treatments, and identifying potential hormonal imbalances that may contribute to symptoms or chronic disease risk. Effective monitoring allows the clinical translator to ensure therapeutic efficacy while minimizing the risk of side effects related to both hormone deficiency and excessive exposure. This continuous assessment is a cornerstone of personalized hormonal wellness.
