Estrogen and Progesterone Balance

Meaning

Estrogen and Progesterone Balance describes the homeostatic relationship between these two primary ovarian steroid hormones, essential for reproductive health and systemic well-being across the lifespan. Optimal balance involves appropriate fluctuations during the menstrual cycle or stable ratios in therapeutic interventions. Imbalance, often termed estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency, is implicated in numerous clinical presentations affecting mood and metabolism.
