What causes low estradiol?

Estradiol is the main hormone secreted by the ovaries, and the growth and development of female reproductive organs is carried out under the action of this hormone. Abnormal estradiol levels can have a significant impact on women's health and may even lead to infertility. It is important to understand the cause of the disease. So, what is the reason for slightly low estradiol? Let’s take a detailed look at it below.

Estradiol is a hormone that is metabolized by the uterus and ovaries. It is the main estrogen. Its main physiological function is to promote the growth and development of female reproductive organs (such as promoting the growth of the uterine wall), stimulate the appearance of female side effects, and affect metabolic function. Estrogen must be maintained at a normal level, otherwise it will cause a series of symptoms. If the estrogen level is slightly low, the uterine wall will be too thin, which will affect the menstrual period and affect women's pregnancy.

Causes of low estradiol

1. Ovarian diseases: uterine and ovarian defects or low growth and development, primary uterine and ovarian failure, and ovarian cysts.

2. Pituitary amenorrhea or infertility.

3. Irregular menstruation: Irregular menstruation causes endocrine disorders in the body, which in turn causes an imbalance in the growth hormone in the human body and fails to meet the standards required by the body.

4. Others: hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, malignant tumors, a wide range of infections, renal insufficiency, focal space-occupying lesions of the brain and pituitary gland, etc. can all reduce blood estradiol.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons for low estradiol. I hope it will help patients understand. There are many reasons for slightly low estradiol. When infertility occurs, it is best to search for the relevant conditions and then use appropriate methods to deal with them. As long as the method is appropriate and attention is paid to daily care measures, this condition can be resolved as soon as possible.
