Estrogen injection is in a class of medications called hormones. The conjugated estrogens form of estrogen injection is used to treat abnormal vaginal bleeding that a doctor has decided is caused only by a problem with the amounts of certain hormones in the body. The estradiol valerate form of estrogen injection is also sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of certain types of prostate (a male reproductive organ) cancer.

These forms of estrogen injection are also sometimes used to treat the symptoms of low estrogen in young women who do not produce enough estrogen naturally. However, women who need a medication only to treat vaginal dryness, itching, or burning should consider a different treatment. The estradiol cypionate and estradiol valerate forms of estrogen injection are used to treat hot flushes (hot flashes sudden strong feelings of heat and sweating) and/or vaginal dryness, itching, and burning in women who are experiencing menopause (change of life the end of monthly menstrual periods).
