Sex Hormone Balance

Meaning

Sex Hormone Balance describes the optimal and harmonious ratio of circulating and bioavailable sex steroids, including estrogens, progesterone, and androgens, that is necessary for maintaining physiological health, reproductive function, and overall well-being in both males and females. This state is not defined by static absolute levels but rather by the appropriate relative concentrations that support tissue function and prevent symptoms associated with deficiency or excess. Achieving this equilibrium is a central therapeutic aim in hormonal health management, as subtle imbalances can significantly impact metabolic health, mood, bone density, and sexual function.
