Estriol is an estrogen hormone mainly used to treat menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, hot flashes, or sleep disturbances. It helps restore hormonal balance and relieve discomfort associated with estrogen deficiency.
Estriol is administered as tablets, creams, or vaginal suppositories, according to the doctor's instructions. The dose and duration of treatment are determined individually, depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient's response to therapy.
Side effects may include local irritation, breast tenderness, headaches, or, rarely, allergic reactions. Medical monitoring is recommended throughout the treatment, especially in women with a history of hormonal disorders.
Estriol is an effective option for relieving menopausal symptoms, but its use should be supervised by a doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
