Takeaways Estrogen is a sex hormone that fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle and plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy. Estrogen excess can lead to symptoms such as mood swings, breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts, brain fog, bloating, uterine fibroids, weight gain, low libido, and heavy periods. Low estrogen levels can cause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low mood, trouble sleeping, memory issues, and bone density problems. Factors that can contribute to hormone imbalance include genetic predisposition, estrogen toxicity, alcohol consumption, chronic stress, under-eating, smoking, and excessive soy consumption. Testing estrogen levels is best done during the mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and results should be interpreted in the context of individual symptoms and goals. A functional hormone check, including comprehensive blood panel testing and personalized evaluation, can provide valuable insights and guidance for addressing hormone imbalance.
