Women's Hormones

Hormones are crucial to a woman’s reproductive health. The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries. Those hormones regulate menstruation, fertility and sex drive (libido) – any one of which can be adversely affected if the production of these hormones becomes out of balance. As most women approach mid-life, hormonal changes gradually cause reproductive organs to stop producing hormones eventually leading to menopause.

 

Hormones are tremendously complex and during the pre-menopausal years, imbalanced hormones can pose challenges with mood stabilisation, conception and regulation of your menstrual cycle.

 

Hormone-related symptoms can occur from the age of when a menstrual cycle commences. Generally, hormonal issues is usually not a clear-cut case of one hormone level being abnormal, or even one hormone system. In fact, because of the role that hormones play as chemical messengers to wake up the genome in specific target tissues throughout the body, it makes sense that all hormone systems work together in order to maintain a state of balance.

 

Salivary hormone measurements is an easy and affordable test to analyse of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone in determining the need for hormone replacement therapy (HRT, whether using traditional or natural means).
