Estrogen deficiency occurs when estrogen levels in the body become too low. This can happen for various reasons as women age or go through menopause when ovarian function and estrogen production slows down and eventually stops completely.
Some key signs and symptoms of estrogen deficiency include:
The low estrogen levels affect multiple areas of health by altering the carefully balanced hormone system in the female body. Estrogen helps regulate menstruation, supports healthy bones, heart, brain and other tissue function. So when levels drop, women can experience quite disruptive symptoms.
