Estrogen is a hormone that plays an important role in the development and maintenance of female characteristics. Estrogen levels refer to the amount or concentration of estrogen present in the body at any given time, which can vary depending on factors such as age, reproductive status, and overall health.
Estrogen levels are measured through blood tests or other diagnostic procedures, and they can be used to assess a woman's fertility, track changes during her menstrual cycle, monitor hormone replacement therapy, or evaluate potential health risks associated with high or low estrogen levels.
In general, fluctuations in estrogen levels are normal throughout a woman’s life and can be influenced by factors such as stress, diet, exercise, and environmental exposures. However, abnormal changes in estrogen levels may signal health concerns that require medical attention or intervention.
