What is estrogen dominance?
"Estrogen dominance," is used to describe what happens when the normal ratio or balance of estrogen to progesterone is changed by excess estrogen or inadequate progesterone. Estrogen is a potent and potentially dangerous hormone when not balanced by adequate progesterone.
Both women who have suffered from PMS and women who have suffered from menopausal symptoms, will recognize the hallmark symptoms of estrogen dominance:
weight gain,
bloating,
mood swings,
irritability,
tender breasts,
headaches,
fatigue,
depression,
hypoglycemia,
uterine fibroids,
endometriosis,
and fibrocystic breasts.
Estrogen dominance is known to cause and/or contribute to cancer of the breast, ovary, endometrium (uterus), and prostate.
