Estrogen has always been neglected as being the little sister of testosterone. But recently scientists recognized the danger posed by an excess of estrogen in the body. It is important to flush out the excess hormone from the body.
1. An imbalance in the progesterone and estrogen hormones causes irregular periods. Estrogen levels spike excessively, about two times the normal level and then it drops suddenly.
2. Estrogen is associated with libido. As we near menopause, the progesterone levels decrease. Due to the increase in estrogen, abrupt mood swings occur. This can negatively affect your sexual life.
3. High levels of estrogen also lead to the uncontrolled growth of the body. This stresses out many women and hence they feel persistently tired.
