Common Questions and Answers about Hormone imbalance oestrogen
hormone
I think im having hormone issues but the blood test appears to be normal (have to chat my doctor more about the results though).
Here is what has happened so far:
August: Diagnosed with ovarian cyst
October: Told to go off the pill (yasmin). Had been on it for about 3 years.
November: Surgery to remove ovarian cyst, left ovary and tube. Anaemia. Did not have a period, due to come a week after surgery.
I am starting to think I may be suffering from a hormone imbalance as my symptoms seem to go when I start my period. I also suffer from inability to sleep, mood swings cyclical depression, facial hair, hot flushes as well as cold and irregular periods, I am now having 2 periods a month, one really light and short and one a week later that is pretty severe....
HE SAID THAT I HAD A HORMONE IMBALANCE DUE TO STRESS........HE SAID THAT HE WAS POSITIVE OF THIS AND GAVE ME PROGESTERONE TO TAKE FOR FIVE DAYS........HE WAS RIGHT........EVERYTHING IS BACK ON TRACK AND I WAS CALM AFTER THAT.........WELL, MY DOCTOR WHO DID THE BLOOD WORK AND URINE TEST BEFORE THE OBGYN VISIT AND HORMONES, HAD HER RECEPTIONIST CALL ME AND SAY THAT MY BLOOD SUGAR WAS A LITTLE HIGH AND THAT THE DR. WAS PRESCRIBING 2 MEDICATIONS FOR ME......
m asking is that do any of you think that these symptoms could be caused by extreme hormone imbalance? No one has ever tested my hormones before. I find it weird that they all started almost a month to the day I quit birth control. Also, my period was never regular when I was younger, I matured late and would sometimes go 6 months without getting my period. I was also anorexic during high school which didn't help. But I am no longer and eat very healthy.
But there is a new problem that I am facing. I get excessive water retention in my body, i can feel my hands padded up,my breasts are extremely painful and feel exhausted and tempramental. This worsens close to mid cycle and gets better as I head towards menses, but breast pain never completely goes away through the entire cycle. This extent of discomfort varies somewhat from one month to another.
There is a link between low oestrogen and urinary infections as well for many women and I use oestrogen cream for vaginal prolapse, and for urine infections as well. The oestrogen receptors in the bladder uptake the oestrogen through the vagina which keeps the lining of the bladder and gag layer thicker as well as helps the vaginal tissues as well. Your GP needs to assess if vaginal oestrogen is safe for you to use and they can prescribe it.
TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone and there are many things that can cause it to fluctuate, that have nothing to do with the thyroid or the autoimmune process. TSH can fluctuate by as much as 75% over the course of day, so any doctor trying to adjust thyroid medication by chasing the perfect TSH is probably going to keep her/his patients very ill, as that's like trying to shoot a moving target.
Abnormal bald spot on the back of the head, which you have mentioned can be because of PCOS which can also cause thinning of the hair. Hair loss can be triggered by anything that involves a change in the oestrogen hormone balance in your system. Hair loss may result from an abortion or a hormonal imbalance.

My Doctor has diagnosed me with reverse T3 and oestrogen dominence and has put me on progesterone to balance the oestrogen, t3 for my thyroid and Dhea (as I am low in DHEA and Testosterone) as he says it will be used, and if necessary by body will convert what it needs to Testosterone. However I just read an article which states Hashi patients often convert DHEA to Oestrogen which exasperates Oestrogen dominence. Has anyone ever heard of this?
After menopause women produce less oestrogen, a hormone that helps keep the lining of the bladder and urethra healthy. With less oestrogen, these tissues may deteriorate, which can aggravate incontinence. There are several methods to treat the same like bladder training, scheduled/timed toilet trips, fluid management (avoiding excessive consumption of fluid later in the evening & avoiding coffee etc).Pelvic floor muscle exercises also facilitate the same.
