Female Sex Steroid Balance

Meaning

The dynamic and precise equilibrium between the primary endogenous female sex steroid hormones—estrogens, progesterone, and androgens—essential for optimal female physiological function across the entire lifespan. This balance is critical for reproductive health, bone density maintenance, cardiovascular integrity, mood regulation, and cognitive function. Imbalance, characterized by relative excess or deficiency of any component, is a core driver of symptoms during perimenopause, menopause, and various endocrine disorders.
