Estrogen Imbalance

Meaning

Estrogen imbalance describes a state where the levels of the various estrogen hormones—estrone, estradiol, and estriol—are either too high (dominance) or too low (deficiency) relative to the body’s physiological needs or in relation to other sex hormones, particularly progesterone. This dysregulation is a common clinical presentation that significantly impacts reproductive health, mood, bone density, and cardiovascular function. Symptoms manifest widely, reflecting the hormone’s pervasive influence across multiple organ systems. A precise diagnosis requires comprehensive hormonal panel testing to determine the specific nature of the deviation from the optimal range.
