EmpowHer: How do you explain estrogen and estrodyle?

Dr. Speroff: Estrogen refers to a class of female hormones. The principal estrogen made by a woman’s body is estrodyle, but a variety of estrogens function in exactly the same way. They differ a little bit in their potency. It is something that can be compensated for by adjusting doses, so on the market there is a variety of various estrogens including estrodyle, but estrogen as a class refers to the principal hormone made by the ovary that distinguishes women.

Women who undergo hysterectomies for benign conditions more than double their risk of needing subsequent surgery for stress urinary incontinence, a new study finds.

This was true regardless of what type of surgical technique was used for the hysterectomy, the researchers noted.

The article is published in the Oct. 27 issue of The Lancet, and although the study contradicts previous research, some experts said they are inclined to believe the current study.
