Abstract in brief

  • Menopause leads to a significant increase in hypertension among women, indicating that naturally occurring estradiol may have a protective effect on blood pressure.
  • Animal and human studies suggest that estrogen helps lower blood pressure by promoting vasodilation through nitric oxide and prostacyclin, while also reducing vasoconstriction caused by the sympathetic nervous system and angiotensin.
  • Recent clinical evidence shows that oral estrogen may slightly raise systolic blood pressure in postmenopausal women and those taking oral contraceptives, possibly due to high estrogen levels affecting the liver, but transdermal estrogen might be a safer option with a small blood pressure-lowering effect.]
