A method for treating symptoms, diseases and conditions in extra-reproductive tract tissues that are responsive to treatment with estrogen, using triarylethanes of formula (I) wherein R1 is -O(CH2)mR3 or -(CH2)nR3; wherein R3 is an anionic substituent; m is an integer from 1 to 4; and n is an integer from 0 to 4; and wherein R2 is either H or -OH. Each of R1 and R2 can be either meta or para to its respective phenyl ethyl linkage. Compounds having the formula (I) wherein R1 is -O(CH2)mR3 or -(CH2)nR3; R3 is an anionic substituent; m is 1, 2, 3 or 4; n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; R2is H or -OH; and wherein each of R1 and R2 is independently meta or para to its respective phenyl ethyl linkage are also provided, with the proviso that R2 is not para -OH when m is 1 and R3 is -COOH.
