Priya has been having trouble conceiving. She went through testing at a fertility clinic and found that everything seemed fine w
ith gametogenesis and the uterine cycle, but that her cervical mucus seemed abnormally thick. The doctor suggested a supplement to help thin the mucus and allow sperm to get through the mucus to the uterus, but Priya can't remember which type of supplement it was. If the supplement were to provide benefit, it could work through increasing which of the following?A. EstradiolB. ProgesteroneC. AndrogenD. InhibinE. Drinking more water
Estradiol, which is also referred to as 17 beta-estradiol, is an estrogen steroid hormone. This form of estrogen is one of the major female sex hormone that plays major role in the female reproductive system such as regulation of the estrous and menstrual cycle. It also helps in regulating body metabolism.
Reduction in the level of Estradiol is one of the problems common in women approaching menopause. Optimal level of estradiol in the body helps improve fertility in the body as symptoms such as such as vaginal dryness, burning, itching that are associated with menopause are reduced to the barest minimum.
The supplement taken by Priya in order to thin the mucus and allow sperm to get through the mucus to the uterus most likely works to benefit the body by increasing <em>estradiol.</em>
Answer: The correct answer to the question is option A
ESTRADIOL
Explanation: Estradiol is also known as oestradiol.it is a female sex hormone (oestrogen),it is a steroid hormone,it regulates the estrus and menstrual female reproductive cycles.it is used by women to reduce vaginal dryness,burning and itching.Since Priya is experiencing abnormal thickness of the cervical mucus,taking estradiol will reduce the thickness/dryness and make the cervical fluid more watery/slippery to enable sperm get through the mucus to the uterus.Thickness of the cervical mucus is caused by the body making less oestrogen that is why oestrogen supplement is needed by Priya inorder to make the mucus more slippery/watery and more mobile for the sperm.
estradiol levels are measured in picograms per milliliter (pg/ml). In premenopausal females, normal estradiol levels are 30 to 400 pg/ml. In postmenopausal females, normal estradiol levels are 0 to 30 pg/ml. In males, normal estradiol levels are 10 to 50 pg/ml.
