Unconjugated estriol (uE3) is a form of oestrogen (hormone) produced by the fetus (unborn baby) through metabolism. Estriol levels are used to determine birth defects and chromosomal variations in babies. Estriol is ejected from the placenta (an organ acting as the protective covering for the fetus) into the mother?s blood, and measured as unconjugated uE3. This test is mainly used for diagnosing Down syndrome. A blood sample is shared with the lab for analysis. There are no specific risks involved in taking this test, and it is considered one of the best ways to analyse an unborn baby?s health.
Estriol plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. It helps to promote the growth and development of the uterus, breasts, and other reproductive tissues. Estriol levels rise progressively throughout pregnancy and reach their peak in the third trimester.
Measuring estriol levels in pregnant women can provide valuable information about the well-being of the fetus. A decrease in estriol levels may indicate a potential problem, such as fetal distress, fetal growth restriction, or placental dysfunction. Monitoring estriol levels, along with other hormones and ultrasound examinations, can help healthcare professionals assess the health of the fetus and make appropriate management decisions.
In addition to its role in pregnancy, estriol also has potential therapeutic benefits. It has been used in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. However, the use of estriol for non-pregnant individuals should be evaluated and prescribed by a healthcare professional, as hormone therapy carries potential risks and benefits that need to be considered on an individual basis.
Overall, estriol is an important hormone involved in pregnancy and can serve as a valuable marker for fetal well-being. However, its use in non-pregnant individuals should be approached with caution and under medical supervision.
