Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi all, While menopause (a full 12-months without a cycle) is about too little estrogen, perimenopause (that long span of years before actual menopause) is usually a time of too much estrogen, or " estrogen dominance " . Here's a list of " symptoms " caused by an excess of estrogen: (BTW, this applies to you guys too! Notice that an excess of estrogen is directly linked to prostate cancer) Creates proliferative endometrium Breast cell stimulation (fibrocystic breasts) Increased body fat and weight gain Salt and fluid retention Depression, anxiety, and headaches Cyclical migraines Poor sleep patterns Interferes with thyroid hormone function Impairs blood sugar control Increased risk of blood clots Little or no libido effect Loss of zinc and retention of copper Reduced oxygen levels in all cells Causes endometrial cancer Increased risk of breast cancer Increased risk of prostate cancer Restrains bone loss Reduces vascular tone (dilates blood vessels) Triggers autoimmune diseases Creates progesterone receptors Relieves hot flashes Prevents vaginal dryness & mucosal atrophy Increases risk of gall bladder disease Improves health of urinary tract Relieves night sweats Next, the benefits of a good quality, USP progesterone cream ~ Michelle http://www.HolisticMenopause.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
