So, especially in women,
men have their own host
of issues when it comes to hormonal imbalance, but women, because our hormones are
cycling and going through different
phases all month long, we're more susceptible to problems with proper hormone regulation, especially in the face
of female endocrine disorders such as PMS, PMDD, PCOS, all
of the acronyms, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, and just dysmenorrhea, so painful and heavy menstruation, or irregular
cycles.
Estrogen levels begin to increase during the first part
of the menstrual
cycle, (follicular
phase) peak just before ovulation, and then decline slowly until they reach their lowest point at the onset
of menses.
