Book a Test- Estradiol / Oestrogen / E2

Estradiol, also known as estrogen or E2, is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the ovaries in females and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells in both males and females. It plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system, as well as in the regulation of various bodily functions. Estradiol is responsible for the growth and development of the uterus, breasts, and other female reproductive organs. It also helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and childbirth. In addition, estradiol has been shown to have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, bones, and brain. Abnormal levels of estradiol can lead to a range of health issues, including infertility, osteoporosis, and mood disorders. As such, estradiol levels are often measured through blood tests to diagnose and monitor various hormonal imbalances.
