If so, seek medical attention immediately. Now onto this week s topic of estrogen replacement and heart disease.
Estrogens are the powerhouse of activity.
They affect everything from the way your skin looks and feels to the way your heart beats. Estradiol is the most active of the estrogens. It is mainly produced by the ovaries. Estrone, another of the estrogens, is the one most commonly found in increased amounts in postmenopausal women. It is usually not necessary to replace Estrone, as the body naturally produces it through the metabolism of Estradiol.
