Ummm...girls Q??


Question:
what is estrogen and y do girls use it??

Answers:
Estrogen is a female hormone. Guys have a little bit of it, but not much.
Estrogen are used as part of some oral contraceptives, in estrogen replacement therapy of postmenopausal women, and in hormone therapy for transsexual women.
While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. They promote the development of female secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle. In males estrogen regulates certain functions of the reproductive system important to the maturation of sperm. and may be necessary for a healthy libido.

Hope that helps!
If you have a really bad period, estrogen can help it be less blood flow, cramps, (etc...). Estrogen is a hormone that only girls have. I use it (birth control) for my periods because they are so heavy.
I hope I helped ya

its some type of women hormone , it developes breasts n some women take it during menopause.. i think lol
oestrogen is a hormone in our bodies naturally,used in the pill, to control periods and pregnancy, and hrt (hormone replacement treatment) in older women experiencing the menopause
estrogen and progesterone pills are used to prevent pregnancy, decrease menstrual flow for women who have really heavy flow, and for women who have severe PMS (premenstrual syndrome). also used for women experiencing menopause to relieve some of the symptoms.
estrogen is a naturally occurring hormone in both men & women. Women, however, have more. Where as men have more Testosterone than women. Some women take estrogen supplements after menopause, or for other medical reasons.
