Woman and Hormone manipulation?

[ACE5HIGH]

Too much Estrogen in men = Bad

Too much Testosterone in Men = Good

But...

what about

Too much Estrogen in woman? Is it necessarily a bad thing, and does it always lead to higher storage of fat or greater estrogenic fat patterns in woman?

[NATE0406]

to little estro for woman can lead to menopause and reproduction issues. but as far as too much i dont know. seeing that serms are used for woman who have breast cancer and other issues i would think that too much estro would have somthing to do with it but im no doc.

Too much estrogen in women (and too little progesterone) can cause

-migraine headaches
-fat deposition around thighs
-risk of breast cancer
-mood swings
-"that time of the month" to be real heavy

among other things.

These two links give good rundowns of the symptoms.

Compounding pharmacies sometimes sell progesterone creams and the like to balance this situation out.

If a woman regularly gets migraines and has a _lot_ of trouble losing fat, she may have this problem. "Complementary medicine" docs (if you can find one) can sometimes help.

You're absolutely correct about the breast cancer risk with too much estrogen -
