What About Estradot Patches?
Estradot patches, a kind of hormone replacement treatment (HRT), contain the hormone estradiol. This is comparable to the estrogen produced naturally in the ovaries, and it is administered through the skin via a small, sticky patch. It is used to treat symptoms caused by low estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause, and it works by replenishing the estrogen that the ovaries no longer generate. It is a sort of systemic HRT, which means that estrogen is released directly into the bloodstream, where it can circulate throughout the body. It is related to Women’s Health.
When and how should I use Estradot?
Your estradiol patch should be placed on clean, dry skin below the waist. It’s a good idea to change the area to lessen the danger of skin irritation, so try applying a patch to your tummy, hip, bottom, or thigh to discover where it sticks best. Each patch carries enough estradiol for three or four days, therefore it should be replaced twice a week on the same days and around the same time.
