Estradiol is an estrogen hormone used to treat conditions associated with estrogen deficiency, such as menopausal symptoms, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and menstrual disorders. It is also used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women or those who have had their ovaries removed.

It works by binding to estrogen receptors, regulating physiological processes related to reproduction, bone health, and cardiovascular function.

It is available in the form of tablets, transdermal patches, gels, vaginal creams, or injections. The dosage and form of administration are determined by the doctor based on the indication.

Common side effects include nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Rarely, it may increase the risk of thromboembolism, breast cancer, or uterine cancer, which is why its use requires careful medical monitoring.

Estradiol should be used as directed by a doctor, and patients should be informed about the risks and benefits of the treatment.
