This both levels should be in balanced. So, let's take a look at each of these hormones, their importance in human function, and why levels have to be balanced in the human both for both men and women.
Estrogen
This is the female hormone which comprises of the: ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat cells. Production levels tend to be higher during reproductive years, as it will help women who are trying to become pregnant do so, a little easier.
Why do these levels have to be balanced
First and foremost, for reproductive reasons. Additionally, when they are balanced, the hormones help to:
- Improve and maintain good cholesterol levels.
- Help prevent bone loss.
- Reduce levels of fatigue, and help maintain healthy productivity levels in women.
This is the hormone which allows women to reproduce. In the event levels aren't balanced, there are hormone injections, oral supplements, and even creams/ointments which can be used, to help improve and promote healthy generation of the estrogen hormone. It is naturally recurring, and produced during the menstrual cycle. So, as long as women are healthy, it should produce naturally within the body.
There are also hormone therapy treatments one can undergo, to help induce and promote healthy production levels of estrogen in the body. There are also medically supervised programs, or prescription medications which a doctor can provide to women, in order to ensure optimal production, and proper levels of estrogen within their system.
