'''Estriol succinate''' is a [[synthetic]] [[estrogen]] that is used in [[hormone replacement therapy]]. It is a [[salt]] of [[estriol]], a naturally occurring estrogen, and [[succinic acid]], a dicarboxylic acid. The compound is used to treat symptoms of [[menopause]], such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

==Etymology==
The term "estriol" is derived from the Greek word "oistros", meaning "gadfly" or "frenzy", and the suffix "-ol", which is used in chemistry to denote an alcohol. The term "succinate" comes from the Latin "succus", meaning "juice", and the suffix "-ate", which is used in chemistry to denote a salt or ester of an acid.

==Pharmacology==
Estriol succinate acts by binding to [[estrogen receptors]] in the body, mimicking the effects of natural estrogens. This can help to alleviate symptoms of menopause, which are caused by a decrease in the body's natural estrogen levels.

==Side Effects==
Like all medications, estriol succinate can cause side effects. These may include [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], [[bloating]], [[breast tenderness]], and [[headache]]. More serious side effects can include [[blood clots]], [[stroke]], and [[cancer]] of the [[uterus]] or [[breast]].

==Related Terms==
* [[Estrogen]]: A group of hormones that play an important role in the normal sexual and reproductive development in women.
* [[Hormone replacement therapy]]: A treatment for symptoms of menopause that involves taking supplemental hormones.
* [[Menopause]]: The time in a woman's life when menstrual periods permanently stop, also called the "change of life."
