This is a group for women who have experienced or are experiencing hormone imbalance symptoms. We are here to help and learn from each other.

Estrogen Dominance

Many women who suffer from hormonally instigated symptoms can be unsuspecting victims of estrogen dominance. Because we hear so much about keeping our estrogen levels up as we approach menopause, we rarely consider the fact that we may be suffering from an estrogen overload during pre-menopausal years. When estrogen is not balanced out by adequate amount of progesterone, a whole array of symptoms may develop - many of which are easily misdiagnosed and subsequently, mistreated such as heavy periods, sore and tender breasts, water retention, bloating and bouts of depression.

Most physicians neglect to discuss the very serious health risks of an estrogen dominance, but I can assure you that it is all too real. In fact, a woman can have regular periods and not be ovulating. A continued lack of ovulation or impaired ovulation can also create a progesterone deficiency leading to an abnormal buildup of the uterine lining, which is never sufficiently shed. The incomplete removal of the endometrium can lead to endometriosis, uterine fibroid cysts, fibrocystic breasts, bloating, depression, heavy or irregular periods and possible malignancies.
