I've been wondering this for a while.
My therapist and doctor both pronounce it '-dial' like dialing a phone number.
I always thought it was more like a combination of 'perennial' and 'creole'
At least that is how I thought the chemical suffix was pronounced.
Anyone else have input? Proper pronunciation or just opinion?
I always pronounced it -di-ol (ol like on doll). can check what my drug reference says on it.
Jeez you have Aussies
Easter- die- ol
That is why we use MIMS.
The woman who took my blood test called it "est-ra-dil"... that's how I say it to!

้haha ;D
I say es-tray-dee-all, but the pharmacist always says es-trah-di-all. I've heard it both ways :P
My family doctor says all his medical terms in old English because that was how he was taught. I find it odd as he pronounces estradiol differently as well :P.
I took a course in medical terminology as part of my schooling. I was taught
ess-tra-DAI-awl.
di means 2, ol means it has an alcohol group, and other chemicals with two alcohol groups are also pronounced DAI-awl, at least in America :)
