Symptoms of female hormone imbalance

Symptoms of female hormone imbalance - more frequently asked questions

I have personally had amazing results using Natural Progesterone as a way to naturally elleviate symptoms of female hormone imbalance. Here are some common symptoms that women do not often realize can be related to a hormone imbalance.


1. Can a hormone imbalance make you tired a lot?

Yes. Chronic fatigue is a common symptom of progesterone deficiency. It is usually related to stress. Unfortunately many women now experience adrenal exhaustion, particularly in their mid thirties, rendering their adrenals incapable of making enough progesterone to counter the stress: a vicious circle. High levels of progesterone are needed to overcome chronic fatigue - 200mg/day of supplemental progesterone has been found to be beneficial when maintained until the symptoms have disappeared. Once the symptoms have subsided the amount can be reduced to the level of stress being experienced.


2. Can back pain be related to a hormone imbalance?

Yes. These are all typical estrogen dominance symptoms: general aches and stiffness, particularly in the morning, pain in the joints and back, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. Many find their symptoms increase before menstruation. Progesterone is an excellent anti-inflammatory as it is the precursor to cortisone. Used as a skin cream and rubbed directly onto the painful area it has been known to help many people.


3. Can stress and irritability be related to a hormone imbalance?

Yes. If you encounter a mildly stressful situation your body draws on its progesterone to produce the hormones (adrenal corticosteroids) to counteract it. These are the hormones that protect against stress. BUT, if your body is in a constant or permanent state of stress it can’t provide enough progesterone to be converted into anti-stress hormones and the result is adrenal exhaustion and no left over progesterone for other normal body functions. It’s a bit of a catch 22 – constant stress reduces our levels of progesterone resulting in too much estrogen which leads to more stress and irritability. Supplementing with a natural progesterone cream particularly during overly stressful times can halt this vicious circle.


4. What are the side effects of progesterone cream?

Health, joy and happiness!
There really are no known harmful side effects for the use of natural progesterone cream - no adverse side affects have been reported and many people have benefited from its use for over 30 years.


5. Can a hormone imbalance cause food cravings?

Yes. One of the many functions of progesterone is blood sugar regulation. Therefore if your estrogen levels are too high and your progesterone levels too low, food cravings and binge eating is a common result. Natural progesterone helps normalize blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar level is too low – you crave food – usually high-sugar or sweet foods such as chocolate. Anyone not experienced chocolate cravings during PMS? If you indulge in these quick sugar fixes your body stores this excess sugar … as fat. As you correct your progesterone deficiency you lose weight and food cravings ease off.
