Estradiol is a sex hormone for which “endocrine glands” are responsible for the “production” and level in the body. With his participation, the formation of the female reproductive system and even the shape of the figure takes place. In preparing the uterus for pregnancy, estradiol is very important, the quality of the woman’s menstrual cycle and the development and functioning of the egg also depend on it. It is especially important to increase estradiol during ovulation so that the hormone stably "works" when the body is ready for fertilization.
It not only affects fruitful procreation, but also improves mood, helps to strengthen bone tissue, good sleep, reduces the possibility of atherosclerosis, increases libido, stimulates the growth of mucous membranes and memory, makes our hair and smooth skin shiny, improving the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The production of estradiol is influenced by a number of other hormones, such as prolactin, LH (luteinizing) and FSH (follicle-stimulating) hormone. The low content of hormones in the blood suggests that there is a decreased function of the gonads.
The value of estradiol for women
In the body of women, testosterone is present, from which estradiol is produced. Its level in a woman’s blood is very variable, and it acquires special significance during pregnancy, reaching its peak on the eve of the appearance of the baby. Already on the fourth day after birth, the indicators come to their original level. According to the degree of influence on the development and gestation of the fetus, he takes second place in the body. Blood circulation in the uterus, the state of the vessels in it depends on it. Low hormone poses a threat to the baby, so during pregnancy you need to increase estradiol to a normal level.
What you need to know if you have to pass an estradiol test:
- Donate blood in the morning, eat nothing (this is a must!).
- No physical education, horticultural exercises with a shovel and sex a day before going to the hospital.
- Be calm and get enough sleep.
- Do not drink or smoke!
- Do not take medicine.
