How Does Estrogen Therapy Affect Histological Structures?
Estrogen plays a crucial role in the maintenance and function of various tissues, particularly in the female reproductive system. Under estrogen therapy, histological changes can be observed in tissues such as the endometrium, vaginal epithelium, and breast tissue. For example, the endometrial lining becomes thicker and more glandular, while the vaginal epithelium becomes more stratified and less atrophic.
