Introduction: Estrogen are hormones linked to different stages of reproductive female system. Also are involved in detailed effects on the vestibular system. A review was performed about changes related to estrogens on the vestibular system, according to each phase of the female reproductive system. Materials: Search on medical databases which included PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo, Google Scholar and Bvsalud of articles published between 1964 to 2020 with the following keywords ‘estrogen and dizziness’, ‘estrogen and vertigo’, ‘estrogen and vestibular disorders. 207 articles were found, 29 in english with highlighted information about estrogen related changes on the vestibular system.
Results: Since menarch to menopause, several vestibular symptoms have been found as vertigo, tinnitus, fullness and hearing loss. Conclusion: According to each female reproductive stage, changes related to estrogen have been reported on the vestibular system.
