Estradiol is one of the most important sex hormones in both women and men. It is an estrogen that plays critical roles in sexual development, reproduction, bone health, and more.
In women, estradiol is produced mainly by the ovaries. It is responsible for the development of feminine secondary sexual characteristics during puberty such as breast growth, widening of the hips, and menstrual cycles. Throughout a woman's reproductive years, estradiol facilitates ovulation, implantation of a fertilized egg, and pregnancy.
In men, estradiol is produced in small amounts by the testes and adrenal glands. While not as vital as testosterone, it still supports bone density, sperm production, brain function and more in males. Estradiol levels that are too high or too low can cause side effects in both sexes.
Estradiol production starts to decline in middle age during the transition to menopause in women and andropause in men. This reduction can lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, bone loss, and mood changes if not properly managed.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we specialize in hormone therapy to help both women and men maintain healthy estradiol levels. Our compassionate doctors will thoroughly evaluate your symptoms, risk factors, and medical history when designing a customized treatment plan.

It can be administered as a pill, topical gel, injection or implant based on your lifestyle needs and preferences.
