    GlossaryTransdermal Estrogen (Estrogen Patch)

    delivers estrogen through the skin via patches or gels

    Transdermal Estrogen refers to a method of delivering estrogen through the skin using patches, gels, or creams. This form of hormone replacement therapy is often used to treat symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and osteoporosis, by maintaining more consistent hormone levels and potentially reducing the risk of side effects compared to oral estrogen.
