Estrogen call the whole group of female sex hormones which are produced by ovaries from the beginning of puberty and up to full fading of genital function. These hormones are very important for health and health of the woman as they are responsible for ability to conception, a good figure, healthy skin, strong bones, good mood and even ability to quickly make decisions.
Shortage of estrogen and its consequence
The deficiency of estrogen can result from some diseases, improper feeding, the shortage of vitamins B a diet and excessive hobby for diets for weight reduction. Besides, the level of this hormone decreases with age, bringing in a result to approach of a climax. The shortage of estrogen immediately affects health of the woman: there are headaches, sharp differences of mood, the condition of skin and hair worsens. The sexual inclination decreases, and monthly become irregular.
