Estrogen dominance - Hormone Wellness Center

What is estrogen dominance?

Estrogen dominance refers to a condition where a woman has excessive estrogens in relation to progesterone. This hormonal imbalance can occur due to several factors:

• Excessive production of estrogens
• Impaired breakdown and elimination of estrogens
• Too little progesterone to balance estrogens

The signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance include:

• Heavy, painful, or irregular periods
• PMS symptoms like bloating, headaches, mood swings
• Weight gain, fluid retention
• Fibrocystic breasts
• Cold hands and feet
• Foggy thinking, memory lapses
• Loss of libido
• Mood changes, irritability, depression

Estrogen dominance has become quite common today due to diet and lifestyle factors like:

• Eating hormone-laden dairy and meat
• Exposure to xenoestrogens (synthetic estrogens)
• Chronic stress
• Lack of exercise, obesity
• Poor gut health and liver function

If you suspect estrogen dominance, getting tested for hormone levels through urine or saliva samples would be a good idea. Progesterone creams, supplements like DIM and Calcium D-Glucarate can help promote hormonal balance.
