What causes estrogen dominance? - Side Effects
Estrogen is one of the primary sex hormones in women. Typically, estrogen is in equilibrium with progesterone, another primary sex hormone. When the body has too much estrogen, either due to an overproduction of estrogen or progesterone absence, enters a state called "estrogen dominance".
The dominance of estrogen can result from an excess production of estrogen in the body, a THS common (HRT) during menopause, a decrease in the production of progesterone or estrogen intake in excess by environmental sources, such as meat injected with hormones or man-made chemicals that the body mistakes as estrogen.
