@endo.fertility.dietitian: Do you experience any of these symptoms of estrogen excess? Here are a few reasons why these symptoms relate to estrogen dominance 👇 Cherry angiomas - these can be a sign of estrogen excess. Elevated prolactin is a possible cause also. Prolactin is a hormone that's produced with suckling at the breast or breast stimulation. It can suppress ovulation, lowering progesterone levels and exacerbating the estrogen to progesterone ratio. Mood changes - progesterone is your anti-stress, anti-anxiety, mood-boosting hormone. It breaks down into ALLO which interacts with GABA receptors to support all of the above. Excess estrogen increases progesterone resistance in those with endometriosis. Breast tenderness - high levels of estrogen can cause swelling, fullness or pain of the breast tissue. Mid-cycle pain - ovulation is the highest estrogen phase of your cycle. Pain triggered my estrogen and/or inflammatory prostaglandins may result in mid-cycle pain. Body aches - shifts in estrogen levels leads to shifts in immunity, prostaglandin and histamine production. Do any of these surprise you? Ps. there is an estrogen ootimization work shop that is instantly accessible to you inside the Endo Collective - link in bio to learn more #endopain #endometriosis #endoawareness #pms #estrogendominance #estrogen
