What is estradiol?
Estradiol is a hormone and is part of the group of estrogens. This hormone is mainly produced in the ovaries. Estradiol stimulates growth and development of female sexual characteristics. Estradiol also helps with fat distribution throughout the female body. Estradiol also plays an important role in the health of bones and joints.Men also have estradiol in their body. However, these amounts are lower and of less importance for their development compared to women.
What do we determine during an estradiol blood test?
This test measures the amount of estradiol in the blood. The amount of estradiol can be tested when, for example, there is infertility, an irregular cycle or with symptoms of menopause. Estradiol can also show early or delayed puberty and show how well the ovaries are working.Testing for estradiol alone is often not sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, the results of this study can help decide whether further research is necessary.
