Hormones Do A Lot For Women

Ever laugh or cry or get mad or get hungry? That's your hormones hard at work. Hormones can affect many vital functions in your body. That's why keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential to the way you live. For women, FemaleCheck by BodyBalance can help you detect imbalances in hormone levels that may be causing many unexplained symptoms.

Here's something you should know: hormones don't just control sexual function and activity. Hormones affect your body physically and emotionally. Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone have a strong influence over:

• PMS
• Menstrual cycle
• Pregnancy
• Menopause
• Skin elasticity
• Lean body mass
• Muscle and bone development
• Sleep patterns
• Various physical and emotional responses

Research has shown that imbalances of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with poor bone health, infertility, and cardiovascular problems, further illustrating why hormonal balance is essential to living well.

These are just some of the major areas these three hormones influence. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions, FemaleCheck can help pinpoint the cause.

Testosterone is the most critical hormone for maintaining a healthy sex drive - in both men and women. Testosterone also increases lean body mass and promotes muscle development. Low levels of this important hormone are linked to fatigue and depression. Balance is the key - too much testosterone may escalate your risk of certain cancers - and may play a role in triggering aggression and anger.

Estrogen (estradiol) modulates the course of both the menstrual cycle and menopause, so imbalances are directly linked to symptoms such as weight gain, headaches, PMS, mood swings, and abdominal cramps. An estrogen deficiency can double your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Monitoring replacement therapy is crucial, since excess estrogen levels have been linked with an increased risk of breast cancer. Progesterone, along with estrogen, plays a major role in shaping a healthy menstrual cycle. Imbalances are associated with a variety of "female" problems, including endometriosis, amenorrhea, and infertility. Adequate, but not excessive, levels of progesterone are also crucial for women during menopause to reduce the risk of both endometrial and breast cancer, especially for those undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
