10Hair fall

Excess estrogen cans start to cause scanty hair or thinning of hair. If your progesterone levels are to low and estrogen ends up being high, this can also cause hair loss in women. It may not be noticed at first but as the condition increases, you will notice the hair fall.

12Insomnia

Estrogen is a stimulating and exciting hormone like the male version of testosterone. It can hype and stimulate your body when there is an excess of it. This is also the reason you may be facing sleeping problems because of too much estrogen. Progesterone helps you calm down and the balance of these hormones maintain body stability. If you find it difficult to unwind, then estrogen is most probably to blame.

13Exhaustion

Fatigue and exhaustion can be the result of too much estrogen. When estrogen levels are high and you don’t get enough sleep, this of course leads to fatigue and sleep deprivation. While exhaustion and fatigue could be the cause of many other factors, but when all of them could be ruled out, then its most probably an increase of estrogen that is causing you the problem.

The best way to combat high estrogen levels is to go to your doctor first for a correct diagnosis. Besides your doctors expert treatment, you could also support and regulate the problem by avoiding alcohol, exercising more often, try mostly organic food and consume helpful food items that contribute to low estrogen such as berries, flaxseed, pomegranates, barley and oats. Get enough sleep every night and maintain a healthier diet.
