A member asked:

What is the difference between estrone and estrodiol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Three Estrogens: Estrone, estradiol, and estriol are the three estrogens. They differ in chemical structure which changes their potency and their site of action. Their site of secretion can be different, and their ratios change according to age.

Recent tv ultrasound found a complex lesion, non cystic, measuring 1.4cm. My estrone is at 260 pg/ml & total estrogen is over 975pg/ml. MRI showed "normal ovary". Could the MRI have missed the lesion? Or could it have disappeared in 10 days?
