PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Along with progesterone, estrogen plays a key role in your reproductive health. The development of secondary sex characteristics (breasts, hips, etc.), menstruation, pregnancy and menopause are all possible, in part, because of estrogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Causes. During menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop releasing eggs. The body produces less of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Lower levels of these hormones cause menopause symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Before menopause, most estrogens are produced in the ovaries. After menopause, the ovaries no longer produce much estrogen and estrogens mainly come from fat tissue. After menopause, higher amounts of estrogen in the blood are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in women [21].

Detailed explanation-4: -Estrogen is a steroid hormone associated with the female reproductive organs and is responsible for developing female sexual characteristics. Estrogen or estradiol is the most common form of estrogen hormone for FDA-approved treatment as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in managing symptoms associated with menopause.
