Preferred term

estrogen replacement therapy  

Definition(s)

  • Estrogen is a group of hormones present in women that regulate sexual characteristics, including growth, maturation, and reproduction. Estrogen production declines during menopause, when the body moves into a stage in which pregnancy and childbirth are no longer possible, although other functions continue as normal.
