Estrogen deficiency occurs when the body does not produce adequate amounts of the hormone estrogen. This usually happens during perimenopause and menopause in women as the ovaries produce less estrogen, but it can also occur in young girls and women due to medical conditions or treatments like chemo or radiation.
Some key signs and symptoms of estrogen deficiency include:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse
More frequent urinary tract infections
Mood changes like depression, anxiety, irritability
Sleep problems like insomnia
Thinning hair and irregular periods
Loss of bone density, osteoporosis risk
Difficulty concentrating and memory problems
