Estrogen Dominance
and Menopause
From the desk of Dr. Sean Patterson
Contrary to popular belief, Menopause is
not simply the result of estrogen deficiency. Yes, estrogen
levels do decline during the end years of a woman's reproductive cycle.
Estrogen levels drop by approximately 40% at menopause while progesterone levels
plummet to approximately 90% of the pre-menopausal levels.
The relative loss of progesterone that
causes the majority of symptoms. It is during this stage that a relative progesterone deficiency is seen,
or develops what is known as Estrogen Dominance.
