A woman begins life with a finite amount of fertile eggs contained in her ovaries, about 1 to 3 million. As a woman ages and menopause symptoms first occur her eggs have been depleted to fewer than 10,000. Her ovaries also produce the hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These hormones control menstruation, ovulation and sex drive.
Menopause occurs when her ovaries stop releasing eggs. This is caused by a woman’s ovaries producing less of the hormone estrogen. A reproductive hormone, FSH is responsible for the growth of her eggs. As menopause begins, her eggs that remain become resistant to FSH which causes less production of the hormone estrogen by her ovaries.
The female hormone estrogen controls many functions of her body. Her heart, bones, breasts, uterus, blood vessels, skin and brain are all affected. The ovaries also produce less testosterone, the hormone affecting her sex drive. See above.
As a woman ages, common symptoms of a hormone imbalance are weight gain, night sweats, trouble sleeping, hot flashes and less interest in sex.
The root cause of many health problems in women are hormone imbalances and can increase the risk of disease. When hormones like testosterone begin to diminish, symptoms begin to appear.
After treatment, these symptoms can disappear and protect against osteoporosis and heart disease. Our women begin to feel younger than they have in years following our natural treatment. Women have told us their kids like them again and they don’t cry at everything.
