Let’s go deeper to uncover the root causes. Remember, there is the case of excess estrogen and also the case of low progesterone, which affects the estrogen-progesterone ratio. Here are some causes of excess e
Many of our patients have estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) negative tumors. We tried to explore if this is related to low frequency of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) intake. Setting Breast Unit, Department of Surgical Oncology, Tertiary...
It is his belief that an excess of estrogen, coupled with a deficiency of progesterone (the counter hormone to estrogen), is the common denominator for a lot of female troubles. Dr. Lee has pioneered the use of natural progesterone as an aid to dealing with this syndrome. Estrogen ...

Like I mentioned before, estrogen dominance occurs when the ratio between estrogen and progesterone is imbalanced. This can occur from a few different scenarios. You have too much estrogen and the ratio compared to your progesterone is imbalanced. This is the most common. ...
The authors of the WHI study reported a “significant” hazard ratio for coronary heart disease (CHD), breast cancer, blood clots, and stroke. However, other health experts who have carefully examined the WHI study suggest that the conclusions drawn were incorrect because their hazard ratio for ...
and myocardial fibrosis are more pronounced compared to individuals with lower levels of these pro-inflammatory cytokines. [60,61]. Collectively, these processes drive the development of HFpEF. Estrogen/progesterone hormone replacement therapy has been shown to reduce visceral AT, fasting blood glucose,...
60,61 Estrogen is combined with a progestin or progesterone for a woman with a uterus to prevent endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer62 and can be given on a daily or cyclic regimen. A woman taking menopausal estrogen should follow up periodically with her physician to assess her ...
It is important to note that progestins and estrogens are not equal, and show a range of biological effects that differ not only from each other, but also from that of progesterone or 17β-estradiol. For example, the most prescribe progestin in menopause women, medroxyprogesterone acetate, is...
We reasoned that endometrial hyperplasia in HSD17B1TG mice could, as is the case in humans, be a consequence of persistent anovulation, which abolishes cyclic progesterone secretion and results in unopposed estrogen action in target tissues like the uterus. To test this conjecture, animals were tr...
