Well can you believe that all the above symptoms are also liked to HYPERESTROGEN in the body! Yes that means that you may have too much Estrogen in your system that your body cannot actually get rid of.


Having high estrogen can increase the risk of developing certain health problems, including:

  • thyroid diseases

  • blood clots

  • heart attack

  • stroke

  • breast cancer

  • ovarian cancer

Some research suggests that men with high estrogen levels may experience depression.

Males and females can develop hormonal imbalances.

The body may only produce high levels of estrogen, or it may produce high levels of estrogen and low levels of another hormone, such as testosterone or progesterone.

Estrogen levels can also rise in response to medications. For example, people taking estrogen replacement therapy, a treatment for menopause symptoms, may experience adverse effects of high estrogen.

Other medications that can increase estrogen levels include:

  • hormonal contraceptives

  • certain antibiotics

  • some herbal or natural remedies

  • phenothiazines, which doctors use to treat some mental or emotional disorders

High estrogen can run in families. Also, certain health problems can cause estrogen levels to rise, including:

  • obesity

  • ovarian tumors

  • liver disease

So before you rush off to get hormone therapy contact us to check your body first!
