Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Estrogen replacement therapy is a scientifically validated treatment for low estrogen levels, a condition known as hypoestrogenism. This therapy is most commonly used in women experiencing menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency, or other medical conditions causing decreased estrogen production. Numerous randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated that estrogen therapy can effectively alleviate symptoms of estrogen deficiency, such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, and bone loss. The use of estrogen for these purposes is endorsed by major medical organizations, including the North American Menopause Society and the Endocrine Society. Estrogen therapy is also an established component of gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender women, supported by clinical guidelines and significant outcome data. While there are risks associated with estrogen therapy—such as increased risk of thromboembolism, stroke, and certain cancers—these are well-characterized and weighed against the benefits in clinical practice. Overall, the use of estrogen to treat or support low estrogen levels is grounded in a robust body of scientific evidence.
