Since women with RRBSO lose the ability to make endogenous 17-\u03b2-estradiol (E2), open questions include whether: (1) poorer sexual function is associated with E2 loss and (2) exogenous estradiol therapy (ET\n                    <jats:sub>BSO<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) is related to amelioration of objective decrements and subjective experiences.
