There are many talks about female hormone balance. Read here about the 9 most important myths and what the truth is about. There are many hormonal treatments like estrogen dominance treatment to cure hormonal problems have a look at it.
Myth 1
It doesn’t matter what you eat, whether you drink or smoke, whether you exercise, or cross your nights. Your hormones control your body whether you commit robbery or not.
Truth
Even most doctors think this. However, your hormones estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone are reduced already created from your 25th. The stress hormone cortisol can peak sky high due to the combination of smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, and an unhealthy diet. Maybe you are not yet bothered by changes in your hormone balance. But if you still want to get pregnant or you prefer not to get wrinkles too early and keep a tight body, you better start taking care of yourself now.
Myth 2
The pill is the best solution for all women with disrupted hormones.
Truth
This is also a fairy tale that many doctors believe in and that is even recommended in many guidelines from general practitioners and gynecologists about the treatment of hormonal problems. And a lot of women would also like to believe it. The hormones in the pill are foreign, Ethinyl estradiol, and progestogen such as levonorgestrel.
Do you find these difficult words? Your liver also finds these substances difficult to recognize and has trouble breaking them down. That’s the way it is meant to be, if these synthetic hormones were as easily degradable as your natural hormones, they wouldn’t be able to act as a contraceptive. So the pill was once invented as a contraceptive and is perfectly adequate for that purpose. However, there are also drawbacks to the pill.
The pill causes your testosterone to drop, many women who take the pill notice that they have less desire for sex.
The pill ensures that your ovaries work much less hard, that there is no ovulation. It does nothing about other hormonal disorders such as too low serotonin (depression) or too high cortisol (chronic stress)
The pill is not a suitable means for treating menopausal symptoms.
Myth 3
If you have PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, you’re just out of luck. Swallowing the pill is the best treatment and getting pregnant is only possible by swallowing or injecting hormones.
Truth
You can do a lot about PCOS yourself. Again a question of nutrition: eat high protein, low carbohydrate (sugar), and lots of vegetables. No need to go hungry and count calories. Move, prefer to do strength sports. Supplements such as vitamin D, d-chiro inositol, vitex agnus castus (monk’s pepper), B vitamins, and broccoli extract are effective.
Myth 4
The premenstrual syndrome does not exist!
Truth
Enough women say that some moodiness in the days leading up to menstruation is just part of it, and some physical discomforts such as breast tightness or some headache, that just makes you feel your wife. However, there are still doctors and even gynecologists who argue that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) does not exist. Nonsense, PMS does exist and 5 out of 100 women suffer a lot from it.
Some of them even have a severe form: PMDD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The closer to the transition, the worse the symptoms of PMS usually are. PMS is also worse with stress. Take good care of your body and liver to be freed from PMS: eat a lot of green vegetables, drink little alcohol and coffee, do not smoke, move and start with daily time for yourself: a few yoga exercises or mindfulness.

Myth 5
The transition, I don’t have to worry about that until I’m 50.
Truth
The changes in hormone balance start much earlier. Your ovaries leave early, just about from your 35th, skimp on the amount of progesterone. This hormone is made after ovulation. It is the counterpart of estradiol. It provides well-being and a safe feeling. It prepares your body for pregnancy. In some women, the production of progesterone has been declining from the 30th. That is precisely the reason that getting pregnant after 30 is not completely self-evident for many women. Do you recognize this?
Myth 6
Heavy periods, which you only get if you have fibroids.
Truth
With many women approaching menopause, menstrual periods become heavier and the cycle shorter. On balance, therefore, more and more frequent blood loss. This is also a consequence of the transition. The drug that doctors prescribe for this problem is the pill. The hormone spiral Mirena is also recommended. And if that does not help enough, it is soon switched to surgery: burning away the endometrium or even removing the uterus.
However, many women are helped very well by rebalancing the hormones with natural means such as dietary adjustment, stress reduction, and the use of herbal remedies or natural progesterone.
Myth 7
Menopausal complaints always pass by themselves.
Truth
This statement is true, but sometimes it takes a very long time for the complaints to ‘pass’ by themselves. Of all 70-year-old women, 1 in 10 still suffer from hot flashes. It is a fact that a healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise in combination with Mediterranean food (lots of vegetables, fish, nuts, fruit, little meat, little carbohydrates) reduces menopausal symptoms. Reducing stress by practicing a body-mind technique such as yoga or mindfulness also contributes.
Using soy or red clover-based plant remedies can also help. But for about 20% of women, this is insufficient, they have disruptive menopausal complaints. 20 hot flashes a day and sometimes 3 times a night out of bed due to heavy sweating and insomnia. Hormone therapy can be a solution for those women.
Myth 8
Your ovary hormones are self-contained.
Truth
The hormones estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone are made in the ovary and also a small part of the adrenal gland. This hormone axis is driven from your brain, the areas of the brain involved are called pituitary and hypothalamus.
The adrenal glands (adrenaline, cortisol) and the thyroid gland (thyroid hormone) are also controlled from these brain areas. Pituitary and hypothalamus are controlled in their neighborhood by higher brain areas. Many other hormones are also active there, so-called neurotransmitters. The substances that cause stimuli to go from one brain cell to another.
Think of serotonin (happiness hormone), cortisol, and adrenaline (stress hormones), oxytocin (hug hormone) and dopamine, endorphins, GABA, and acetylcholine. Your hormones form a subtle control mechanism in your body, all hormones influence each other. If one hormone goes up, the other goes down (cortisol and oxytocin) or if one hormone goes up, the other goes up (serotonin and estradiol).
Myth 9
Once the transition is over, you will automatically come into calm water.
Truth
Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict how quickly menopausal symptomswill go away – if you experience them. In one woman they last 6 months, in the other 26 years. However, it is now known that women who suffer from menopause are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Usually, nothing happens completely by itself in hormone country. You have to work hard to be hormonally balanced. A matter of healthy food, a healthy lifestyle, sufficient sleep, and exercise and stress do not get a hold on your body. If you want to maintain good health into old age, these are the things you can do to avoid cardiovascular disease (cause of death # 1 in women) if you want to stay focused and have a sharp memory and if you do not want to shrink due to the bone loss. It is much better to keep even the dreaded disease of cancer at bay. 50% of all cancers are the result of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, says the WHO.
