What are women’s hormones?
Estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are all essential women’s hormones. Women’s hormones are responsible for female sex characteristics, fertility, sexual functioning, and overall health and well-being.
Thyroid hormone, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland in the neck that is responsible for metabolism regulation, can also become imbalanced in women. In fact, about one in eight women develop a thyroid disorder.
What are the symptoms of women’s hormone imbalances?
Imbalanced women’s hormones can cause the following symptoms:
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes
- Depression or anxiety
- Vaginal dryness
- Sexual dysfunction
- Low libido
- Muscle mass loss
- Weakness
- Weight gain
- Low energy
- Difficulty sleeping
- Problems concentrating
- Feeling cold
- Thinning hair
- Skin changes
- Heavy periods or other menstruation changes
Women in perimenopause who are approaching menopause often experience hormone changes. After menopause, the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, which can create an imbalance. Fortunately, hormone replacement therapy is a highly effective solution for reducing problematic symptoms.

Your Elevate Health specialist meets with you virtually using your phone, computer, tablet, or other electronic device. They review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, ask about your treatment preferences and goals, and have you undergo lab testing to evaluate your hormone levels and determine if you’re a candidate for treatment.
