Estrogen and progesterone – key hormones for reproductive health
Hormonal balance is one of the most important aspects of women’s health, especially when it comes to reproductive hormones – estrogen and progesterone. These hormones have a direct impact on the menstrual cycle, ovulation, fertility, mood, and metabolism.
When does hormonal imbalance occur?
Hormonal imbalance occurs when the levels of estrogen or progesterone are significantly increased or decreased, which can lead to a range of health symptoms and conditions. Some of the most common problems related to the disruption of these hormones include:
- Irregular or absent menstruation
- Hormonal bleeding
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Difficulties with fertility and ovulation
Recognizable symptoms of hormonal imbalance
In addition to gynecological symptoms, women often experience:
- Prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Mood swings, fatigue, difficulty sleeping
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, especially during the cycle
What can you do?
Consultation with a gynecologist: The most important first step is to talk to a specialist. A gynecologist can recommend hormone therapy or natural alternatives to regulate your hormones, depending on your health condition.
Healthy lifestyle:
A balanced diet, regular physical activity, and stress management play a major role in hormonal stability. Avoid processed foods, alcohol, and excessive exposure to endocrine disruptors (such as certain cosmetics and plastic products).
