The Effect of Balancing Estrogen and Progesterone on Pms

Achieving balance between estrogen and progesterone helps to restore the body's natural hormonal state and lessen the occurrence of severe PMS symptoms.

Premenstrual syndrome or PMS is the onset of various symptoms both physical and emotional that occur in an estimated 75 - 90% of women of child-bearing age, between 2 and 14 days prior to the onset of the menstrual period. The symptoms related to PMS are numerous (over 100), and occur most often in women from their late 20's into their 40's. Some of these include abdominal cramps, water retention, weight gain, moodiness, fatigue, lower back pain, breast tenderness, headache, irritability, depression, and food cravings.

A definitive cause of PMS is not known. For a number of years, PMS was considered a psychological condition, a view which completely ignored the hormonal, nutritional and biochemical characteristics related to the syndrome. Today it is widely thought that PMS is the result of women's sensitivity to hormonal shifts during the course of the reproductive cycle.

About 10% of women who experience PMS have severe symptoms causing a disruption in their lifestyle. While stress can aggravate or amplify the symptoms of PMS, it is not a direct cause of the condition. PMS symptoms usually diminish or disappear altogether once the menstrual period (bleeding) starts.

PMS is usually diagnosed based on the collection of symptoms a woman may experience. Relief can be found through a number of remedies including taking magnesium or calcium supplements, regular exercise, and avoiding stress. Medical treatment is available for relief from severe symptoms.

The symptoms of PMS are related to the normal levels of estrogen in the presence of low progesterone, or elevated estrogen and the condition of estrogen dominance. In this condition, PMS symptoms are evident and can be amplified. When balance exists between estrogen and progesterone, the symptoms of PMS are lessened, giving a woman suffering those symptoms much desired relief.
