Female Endocrine Resilience

Meaning

Female Endocrine Resilience describes the physiological capacity of the female endocrine system, particularly the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) axis, to maintain optimal function and swiftly recover from various internal and external stressors, including significant dietary restriction, psychological strain, and intense physical exertion. This resilience is clinically characterized by stable, regular menstrual cycles, robust and appropriate sex hormone production, and minimal susceptibility to common endocrine-related dysfunctions like amenorrhea or severe premenstrual symptoms. It is a key measure of hormonal adaptability.
