Intramuscular injections are injections into muscle, for instance the gluteal or deltoid muscle. Estradiol and estradiol esters can be administered in a variety of forms by intramuscular injection. [ 270 ] [ 10 ] [ 271 ] Aqueous solutions of estradiol and estradiol esters by intramuscular injection have a rapid onset and duration analogously to ...
Estrogen replacement can restore vaginal cells, pH levels, and blood flow to the vagina, all of which tend to deteriorate at the onset of menopause. Pain or discomfort with sex appears to be the most responsive component to estrogen. [21] It also has been shown to have positive effects on the urinary tract. [21]
Estradiol cypionate is usually used at a dosage of 1 to 5 mg by intramuscular injection every 3 to 4 weeks in the treatment of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal atrophy, at a dosage of 1.5 to 2 mg by intramuscular injection once a month in the treatment of female hypoestrogenism due to hypogonadism, and at a dosage of 2 to 10 ...
Tritiated estradiol radioactivity in blood with a single intramuscular injection of 1.5 to 2.8 μg tritiated estradiol in aqueous solution in four women. [1] Peak blood radioactivity occurred within 15 minutes in three of the women and in the remaining woman after 2 hours. [1] Source: Davis et al. (1963). [1]
Estrogen levels after a single intramuscular injection of 10 mg estradiol valerate in oil in 24 postmenopausal women. [9] Determinations were made for both Progynon Depot 10 and Estradiol Depot 10, for a total of 48 measurements per point. [9] Assays were performed using GC/MS-NCI/SIM. [9] Source was Schug et al. (2012). [9]
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), is for women with menopausal symptoms. It is based on the idea that the treatment may prevent discomfort caused by diminished circulating estrogen and progesterone hormones, or in the case of the surgically or prematurely menopausal, that it may prolong life and may reduce incidence of dementia.

Estradiol enantate is an estrogen and hence is an agonist of the estrogen receptor, the biological target of estrogens like estradiol. [6] [5] It is an estrogen ester and a long-lasting prodrug of estradiol in the body. [5] [6] Because of this, it is considered to be a natural and bioidentical form of estrogen. [5] [17]
