Estrogen deficiency

What is estrogen deficiency?

Estrogen deficiency occurs when the body does not produce adequate amounts of the hormone estrogen. This commonly occurs during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause in females. It can also result from medical conditions or removal of the ovaries.

Some common symptoms of estrogen deficiency include:

• Hot flashes - Sudden feeling of warmth in the face, neck and chest that can cause sweating and rapid heartbeat


• Vaginal dryness - Thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls


• Decreased sex drive - Lower libido due to vaginal dryness and hormonal changes


• Mood changes - Irritability, depression, anxiety and trouble sleeping


• Night sweats - Severe hot flashes that occur during sleep causing sweating and waking up

Estrogen deficiency can also lead to some serious long-term health risks if not treated:

• Osteoporosis - Thinning and weakening of bones that increases fracture risk


• Heart disease - Higher risk of cardiovascular disease


• Alzheimer's disease - Increased risk of dementia in older age
