How does Estradot work?
Estradot substitutes the lack of oestrogen if the forthcoming symptoms seriously hinder a woman in her daily life. Estradot is used in postmenopausal women with at least 12 months since their last natural period. By substituting oestrogen, symptoms as hot face and flushes are alleviated. Some women can also develop fragile bones during the menopause. Estradot prevents this from happening.
Another treatment Estradot is used for, is transgender therapy. Taking hormones will alter the secondary gender characteristics. These characteristics will become more pronounced which corresponds with the transgender’s gender identity.
