Estradiol valerate tablets are a type of estrogen medication primarily used to supplement insufficient estrogen levels in the body. Its main benefits include relieving symptoms caused by declining estrogen levels, such as menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. In addition, this medication can also be used for the prevention of osteoporosis, particularly common in postmenopausal women. Certain gynecological conditions, such as functional uterine bleeding or amenorrhea, may also be treated with estradiol valerate tablets. However, use of such medications must strictly follow a doctor's advice, avoiding self-adjustment of dosage or long-term use.
During treatment with estradiol valerate tablets, regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to monitor physical condition, especially changes in the breasts, endometrium, and other areas. If abnormal bleeding, headache, chest tightness, or other symptoms occur, prompt consultation with a doctor is advised. In daily life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep—can help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Overreliance on medication should be avoided, and learning psychological adjustment techniques to relieve stress and anxiety is also recommended.
