Navigating the discomfort of excess estrogen is not just a physical challenge. It also emphasizes the importance of identifying and understanding what's occurring inside your body. We're turning to women's health experts and registered dietitians Courtney O'Neill, RD, CDE, MPH and Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD, for expert insights on high estrogen symptoms.
Since hormones constantly change, it can be difficult to distinguish chronic hormonal imbalances from regular fluctuations. Manaker explains that persistent symptoms of fatigue, hair loss, irregular periods, sleep disturbances, and changes in sex drive warrant a medical evaluation, mainly since these symptoms affect the quality of life. Working with an endocrinologist who can track hormonal shifts over time and help diagnose an imbalance is important.
Stress can also influence hormonal balance. O'Neill says, "When we experience stress, our body's endocrine system undergoes complex changes to release hormones so we can react to the stress, the so-called "fight or flight" response." Although cortisol is commonly recognized as the stress hormone, it's not the only player during stressful situations.
