Little-known causes of hormonal changes in women’s bodies |
|
Women's problems are on the rise.
Between 40% and 60% of women in the Western world suffer from premenstrual syndrome.
In addition, a huge number of women suffer from a range of problems that are associated with early menopause.
Something serious is going on.
There is strong evidence that a number of factors in our lives affect the balance of hormones in the body that is essential for health.
Lack of progesterone
According to research, many women in their 30-ies (sometimes even before) sometimes do not ovulate during their menstrual cycle.
Without ovulation, there is no creation of corpus luteum (yellow body) that secretes the hormone progesterone.
Since the lack of this hormone in the female organism disrupts the natural balance of estrogen and progesterone. The dominance of estrogen over progesterone entails a whole range of problems.
Symptoms of progesterone are:
- hair loss
- chronic fatigue
- hot flushes, insomnia
- irregular menstruation, infertility
- urinary tract infections
- weight gain, cravings for sweets,
- slow metabolism
- headache and migraine
- mood swings, irritability, depression, panic attacks
- dizziness, poor concentration, forgetfulness
- decreased libido
- incontinence (occasional "escape" of urine)
- palpitations (skipping heart)
- uterine cancer, polycystic ovaries, myomas
- osteoporosis
- bone mass loss
If you have 3 or more of these symptoms, there is a strong possibility that the balance of estrogen and progesterone in your body is out of order.
Progesterone and stress
Progesterone is closely associated with stress. Stress and poor nutrition can disrupt ovulation.
When ovulation is absent, the organism produces inadequate levels of progesterone. Due to a lack of progesterone, anti-stress hormone production is reduced.
Lack of anti-stress hormones increases stress levels even more, which in turn causes lack of ovulation. In this way, it creates a vicious circle.
Xeno-estrogen - fake estrogen in our diet
Estrogen and progesterone imbalance in the body is also caused by the world in which we live.
We are surrounded by many petrochemical products. They are found in air, water and food, including pesticides and herbicides, plastic products and polychlorinated biphenyls.
These substances contain false estrogen - called Xeno-estrogen - which is easily absorbed and accumulate in the fatty tissues.
For example, the frequent consumption of soft drinks in plastic bottles can cause estrogen dominance.
Xeno-estrogen is very difficult to expel from the body.
These chemicals, although foreign to our body, mimic estrogen and become entangled in the natural biochemical activity of the organism.
Extensive research is currently being conducted around the world, exposing the seriousness of the situation caused by the pseudo-hormones.
So far, 51 types of eno-hormones have been discovered, each of which is capable of causing many problems in the body.
Pseudo-hormones do not damage women only. Recent findings also reflect the fact that the production of sperm in men over the past 70 years has decreased by 50%.
This fact is associated with fake hormones, which can also cause prostate cancer and breast, genital deformities and neurological disorders.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Proper diagnosis is the key to solving any health problems.
If you have symptoms of hormonal disorders, consult a physician. (Hormones are complicated matter, and besides, many diseases have similar symptoms).
Before starting treatment with conventional or alternative methods, you must know exactly what is going on in your body.
Usually, physicians will listen about your symptoms and suggest blood tests in order to determine hormone levels in the body.
If you encounter misunderstanding physician (as often happens), be persistent and try persuading him to give you a referral for testing hormones.
Conventional treatments of hormonal disorders include hormone replacement therapy performed via synthesized hormones that have a major health risk.
According to one study, regular use of synthetic hormones causes cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality in women.
Because of this, lately, more and more women are seeking natural solution for discomforts associated with pre-menopause and menopause.
Alternative treatment
Alternative treatment of hormonal disorders initially involves analyzing and improving the quality of life completely.
Proper diet, exercise, avoiding stress and timely relaxation can do miracles when it comes to hormones.
As we mentioned before, the two main reasons for hormonal disorders are stress and diet, we recommend you to pay more attention to them.
In addition, there are natural creams containing natural progesterone, which can help with the lack of progesterone in the body.
Common ingredients of such crèmes are soy cream and wild yam.
For hormonal disorders, you can also use diet supplements based on maca , hemp, Siberian ginseng, licorice, horsetail, field horsetail and Chinese angelica.
