 Amenorrhea 

Amenorrhea, the absence of one or more menstrual periods, can affect health in different ways, including cardiovascular, reproductive, and mental health. Some women may also experience long menstrual cycles. It is a common concern among women of reproductive age.

In 1988, amenorrhea was first identified as a condition in people with HIV. There is a link between HIV and amenorrhea. A meta-analysis, based on six studies conducted between 1996 and 2010, involving a total of 8925 premenopausal women living with amenorrhea, concluded that the association between amenorrhea and HIV is not attributed to HIV-related co-morbidities. Interestingly, most of the studies found that amenorrhea was more significant in individuals with a low BMI compared to the control group.

Indication:

Estrone, can be either synthetically prepared or naturally obtained from pregnant horse urine. It is one of the three primary types of estrogen and is produced in various parts of the body, including the placenta, ovaries, and peripheral tissues.

Estrone, as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), is frequently used to treat symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency in peri and post-menopausal women. This therapy aims to enhance overall health and relieve menopausal symptoms related to estrogen imbalance. Additionally, estrone and other estrogens are used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk of fractures and cannot tolerate alternative medications. Estrogens are absorbed efficiently by the body and subsequently inactivated in the liver, making them effective in HRT and osteoporosis prevention.

Hormone therapy has both risks and benefits. Research from large clinical trials indicates that women who take combined hormone therapy for more than 5 years may have an increased risk of breast cancer and coronary heart disease. To manage menopausal symptoms, it is recommended to use the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible duration.

Whether or not to use hormone therapy is based on the patient's condition, a careful assessment of the advantages and disadvantages, and having a discussion with the patient to make an informed decision.

Mechanism of Action:

The way estrone works is by entering the cells of certain tissues in the body and attaching to nuclear receptors. This interaction then influences how genes are expressed, leading to various physiological responses in the body.

Absorption:

When estrogens are taken orally, they need higher doses because they go through significant metabolism in the gut and liver. This process can increase the levels of certain estrogen forms, like estrone and estrone sulfate, which have strong estrogenic activity.

 Toxicity: 

When estrone is used too much or taken in large amounts, it can cause toxicity, leading to symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Estrone should be stored in its original package or container to maintain its quality and effectiveness.

The FDA has approved estrone based on its safety and effectiveness as per the rules outlined in sections 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
