Estrogen-Progesterone Balance

Meaning

Estrogen-Progesterone Balance is the critical homeostatic ratio between the circulating concentrations and tissue-level effects of the two principal female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Maintaining a harmonious and appropriate relative proportion of these two steroid hormones is absolutely essential for optimal female reproductive function, mood stability, bone health, and overall well-being. Clinical symptoms often arise from a state of imbalance, such as estrogen dominance or functional progesterone insufficiency, which necessitates precise therapeutic adjustment.
