These are the causes of low estrogen levels

The role of estrogen

Estrogen is, besides progesterone, the most important female sex hormone, and are normally consistent with each other, counterbalancing each other. The amount of estrogen increases gradually in the first half of the cycle, which is the highest. In addition to forming secondary sex characteristics, she participates, inter alia, in regulating menstruation, ovulation stimulation, and the build up of the uterus. Estrogen is produced by the mature follicle regulated by the pituitary gland. Up to the level of ovulation, the progesterone will be the main factor. Proper amount is essential for the normal cycle, so too high and too low levels can cause many health problems, not just menstrual disorders.

Causes of low estrogenic levels

Most often, it is about hearing estrogen, but low levels of hormone can also cause many problems and may draw attention to various diseases and conditions. Because estrogen plays a very important role in regulating menstrual flow, it is often suspected of bleeding or infertility. Given the hormone produced in the ovaries, all factors that may affect their function may cause estrogen deficiency. These may be both hormonal and non-hormonal factors. Among these latter, for example, anorexia, excessive exercise, chemotherapy, genetic defects, etc., says Ildikó Lőrincz, Gynecologist-Endocrinologist at the Gynecological Center, who says that most of the cases endocrine is the problem.

Low levels of estrogen levels:

• menstrual disorders
• sleep disorders
• fatigue
• depression
• low libido
• vaginal dryness
• dry skin
• heat waves.

The 3 most common hormonal causes in the background

Klimax, early climax: estrogen levels decrease typically during menopause / early climax. First, the amount of progesterone decreases, followed by estrogen, which causes bleeding in the beginning until eventually menstruation is missed. Although most of the time it is over 45 years old, but it is increasingly threatening the thirty-year-olds.

Turner syndrome: Turner's syndrome is a genetic disorder of women in which one sex chromosome is missing or damaged. As a consequence, in most cases, ovarian dysfunction develops, resulting in estrogen deficiency. In addition, low-term, lymphedema, menstrual disorder and lack of feminine physiology are important indications for suspected illness. One major part of its treatment is estrogen replacement, but it is also necessary to replace other hormones.

PCOS: PCOS is a common condition among women based on a hormonal disorder that causes fluid cysts in the ovaries instead of dominant follicles. The disease may not only have a low progesterone level, but it may also have decreased estrogenic levels and may increase testosterone levels. Apart from the menstrual disturbances, symptoms include acne, acne and overweight, most commonly. The main pill of its therapy is lifestyle change (diet, exercise), but there is a need for medication.

Can the absence of estrogen be discontinued?

If the lack of estrogen has been demonstrated by blood sampling, if lifestyle factors are in the background, it can be treated with proper nutrition, anorexia by taking extra kits, and with appropriate and intense sports. In other cases, if any, basic disease should be treated, which also has a major role in lifestyle, but it may also be necessary to take medication therapy or estrogen replacement. In this case spontaneous pregnancy may occur.
