Estrogen and progesterone are generally considered the main female sex hormones, although women also have testosterone, but in lower amounts than men (with the exception of PCOS). When these sex hormones are out of balance, they are rarely the only ones. In fact, your hormone imbalance symptoms can stem from problems with your adrenal glands, thyroid, gut, liver, diet, or lifestyle.
For this reason, we rarely, if ever, focus solely on female sex hormones when trying to restore balance in the female body.
Symptoms of sex hormone imbalance include:
High estrogen:
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Weight gain
- Heavy or irregular menstruation
- Headache
- Mood swings
- Breast tenderness
- Irritability
Low estrogen:
- Night sweats
- Depression
- Vaginal dryness
- Insomnia
- Incontinence
- Hair loss
High progesterone:
- You cry easily.
- Breast tenderness
- Irritability
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Low progesterone
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Spotting in the middle of the cycle
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Menstrual cramps
- Heavy or irregular menstruation
If you find yourself identifying with some (or perhaps many) of the symptoms above, you likely have a hormonal imbalance. The key to healthy sex hormones is to support the whole body, with special attention to the ovaries, adrenal glands, and thyroid. For an overview of all hormone balance support products, click here .
