Female human body produces the female sex hormone called estrogen which is responsible for the regulation of menstrual cycles and pregnancy in females. This is the main function of estrogens in the body, but there are certain other concepts about estrogen. Some believe that treating women with estrogens has great anti-aging effects while some other people think that treating with estrogen is useful in the treatment of side effects of menopause.
Actually after the menopause in women the production of estrogen is decreased in the body due to which many symptoms of menopause occur like hot flashes. So women are taking the estrogen supplements, for years, to reduce these menopause symptoms. Today, estrogen is not given alone but some other hormones are also prescribed by the physician to control the effects of menopause. These hormones are given to reduce the side effects produced by the administration of estrogen alone. Usually a synthetic hormone called progesterone is given with the estrogen. These two hormones work together to keep the uterus healthy and keep away from other more problems. The long term treatment of estrogen increases the chances of heart disease, blood clots and stroke. This treatment decreases the chances of hip fracture.
