Estrogens and progesterone are key female hormones. Their excess or deficiency can negatively affect health, appearance, and emotional state.
Signs of Excess Estrogen
Estrogens control the menstrual cycle, bone health, and cardiovascular function. An excess of the hormone can occur due to overweight, poor nutrition, alcohol, uncontrolled use of oral contraceptives, or liver problems.
Symptoms:
- Bloating
- Breast tenderness
- Decreased libido
- Unusual lumps in the breast
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Increased PMS
- Frequent headaches
- Mood swings
- Unjustified anxiety
- Weight gain, especially around the waist, hips, and thighs
- Hair loss, nail problems

Symptoms of Progesterone Deficiency
Progesterone supports the reproductive system, breast health, normalizes blood sugar and pressure, and affects mood and memory. Its deficiency is often accompanied by:
- Irregular or absent menstruation
- Sharp mood swings
- Depression
- Night sweats

- Headaches and migraines
If you notice several of these symptoms, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist or endocrinologist for examination and hormonal adjustment.
