Estradiol - Balance Hormone Clinic

What is estradiol?

Estradiol is the most potent, naturally occurring estrogen hormone in the human body. It plays a vital role in sexual and reproductive development, mainly in women.

Some key facts about estradiol:

• Estradiol is produced primarily by the ovaries, as well as the placenta during pregnancy and the testes in men. Smaller amounts are also produced in fat tissue and other tissues.
• It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and a woman's fertility by stimulating growth of the uterine lining during the first half of the cycle.
• Estradiol levels peak just before ovulation, decline during the second half of the cycle, then rise again if pregnancy occurs.
• In addition to reproductive function, estradiol is important for bone formation, cardiovascular health, skin elasticity, and more in both women and men.
• Levels that are too high or too low can cause troublesome symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities, and even infertility if very low.

As we age, especially in perimenopause and menopause, estradiol production starts to decline leading to estrogen deficiency. Replacing estradiol at that stage through hormone therapy can help relieve menopausal symptoms greatly. This is where Balance Hormone Clinic comes in!

Our caring medical providers specialize in bioidentical hormone therapy to restore optimal estradiol levels. We carefully evaluate each woman's hormone profile through blood tests. Then we create fully customized treatment plans to relieve symptoms and promote better health during menopause.

Unlike synthetic hormones, our bioidentical estradiol medication is identical at the molecular level to the estradiol women make naturally. This leads to excellent symptom relief with minimal side effects for most women.

We also address lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, and stress management as part of our comprehensive plans. Most importantly, we listen and provide the information and support you need.

So if you're struggling through menopause, contact Balance Hormone Clinic today to learn more and schedule a consultation. We're here to help you feel healthy, vibrant, and confident again!
