Estrone is a naturally occurring estrogenic hormone and a member of the estrogen class of hormones. Used primarily in hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms, it is rarely used today as other estrogens such as estradiol are preferred. Estrone may also be found as part of combination hormone preparations.
