Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
Does anyone know, are there vaginal signs of too much estrogen?
These are the symptoms of estrogen dominance :
Weight gain around the buttocks ,hips and thighs
Fluid retention
Abdominal bloating
Lumpy tender breasts
Heavy and or painful periods
Irregular or infrequent periods
Endometriosis
Fibroids
Endometrial hyperplasia and an increased risk of uterine cancer.
Aching legs and aggravation of varicose veins
Headaches and migraine.
Estrogen dominance can be confirmed with salivary tests.
These are the symptoms of estrogen deficiency:
Urinary frequency and/or incontinence
Dry and wrinkled skin
Depression and anxiety
Memory loss
Lack of menstruation
Bone loss and loss of teeeth
Muscular aches and pains (Fibromyalgia)
Hot flushes/night sweats
Insomnia
Vaginal dryness and discomfort

Its all very interesting and I hope it helps not only you but all the other sistas out there going through this awful transition.
