The feeling of a woman's hormones

Hormones are not good if they are too much or too little. Their presence in the human body should be balanced so that they can play their greatest role. The feeling of excessive hormones in female friends is actually a bad thing, because it can cause menstrual irregularities, poor skin quality, etc., which will have some effects on the body.

What are female hormones?

Female hormones are the general term for estrogen and progesterone. The most obvious effect of estrogen on metabolism is that it can change the distribution of fat in the body and promote the deposition of subcutaneous fat, so it can make women's subcutaneous fat thicker, increase skin thickness, and reduce wrinkles. Progesterone enhances basal metabolism, inhibits excessive production of estrogen, and at the same time breaks down fat deposited by estrogen, promotes the development of breast alveoli, enlarges the breasts, and slightly increases body temperature. In addition, it can maintain the health of bones and muscles, promote blood supply and circulation, affect fat metabolism, regulate the proportion of cholesterol, etc. Female hormones affect women's normal growth, development and emotional expression, and are also an important factor in maintaining the balance of women's organ systems. Once out of balance, various diseases will occur in the body.

Causes of Hormone Imbalance

【Menopause】Menopause causes a sharp drop in the concentration of female hormones, causing drastic changes in the body.

[Gynecological diseases] Tumor diseases such as cervical cancer and ovarian cancer can cause hormonal imbalance and affect menstrual regularity.

[Chronic Diseases] If a patient suffers from chronic diseases such as diabetes, anemia, or anorexia, it will cause hormonal imbalance.

[Incorrect weight loss] Many weight loss methods on the market advocate dieting or taking medicine to lose weight. Weight loss occurs quickly, but various body functions adapt and keep up with the pace of weight loss, which leads to hormonal imbalance.

[Excessive exercise] Excessive exercise will change the ratio of fat and muscle tissue in the body, and affect the secretion of hormones, resulting in irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea.

[Inappropriate behavior] Abuse of psychiatric drugs, drug use, anti-cancer or contraceptive drugs, and alcoholism can disrupt hormone secretion.

Effects of excessive female hormone secretion

[Menstrual Irregularity] Normally, the amount of menstrual flow in women is about the same every month. If the amount varies too much, it is most likely due to endocrine disorders, which lead to excessive or low levels of ovarian estrogen secretion and irregular menstrual flow. Dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea are often related to endocrine disorders.

[Infertility] Some women have been married for many years and have normal sex lives, but still have no hope of getting pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor told me to adjust my endocrine system first. The reason is that endocrine disorders make the cerebral cortex unable to regulate endocrine; or the endometrium is damaged and unresponsive to female hormones, which reflexively affects endocrine regulation and reduces the chance of successful conception.

[Breast] The main cause of breast pain and breast hyperplasia is endocrine disorders. The more important function of the breast is to promote its growth and development through the secretion of estrogen. Therefore, once the endocrine system is unbalanced or disordered, it is easy to cause breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.

[Skin] The most common skin problem caused by endocrine disorders is acne. Women are more likely to develop acne when they have irregular menstruation. This is because during menstruation, the secretion of male hormones in the body increases or the effect becomes stronger, which leads to vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands, blocking the pores on the face and causing endless acne.

[Body Hair] Regardless of gender, the endocrine system in the body produces and releases male hormones and female hormones at the same time. The difference is that boys have more male hormones and women have less male hormones, which results in their respective characteristics. However, when the endocrine system in the body is out of balance and women secrete too much male hormone, they may have symptoms of hirsutism.
