Estrogen deficiency - Revive Hormone Specialists

What is estrogen deficiency?

Estrogen deficiency occurs when a person's body does not produce adequate amounts of the hormone estrogen. This is most commonly experienced by women undergoing menopause, but can also occur due to certain medical conditions or treatments.

Some key things to know about estrogen deficiency:

• Symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and even sexual dysfunction.
• It increases the risk for developing osteoporosis later in life due to the impact on bone health.
• Heart disease risk may also rise without adequate estrogen.
• Blood lipid levels can change, potentially increasing risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Diagnosis is typically made through blood tests checking hormone levels along with evaluation of symptoms. Treatment options aim to replace missing estrogen and relieve unpleasant symptoms. These may include:

• Hormone therapy with estrogen, often combined with progestin
• Vaginal estrogen creams/tablets to improve vaginal tissue specifically
• Lifestyle changes like proper nutrition and exercise
• Medications to help protect bone health
