Hormones And Women: An Introduction
Have you ever met, or been yourself, a moody woman? One moment, she is happy, even giddy! But later, she is angry, yelling, very enraged. The set off could have been something simple, an innocent joke or a misinterpreted compliment. Sadness can be the next stop on the emotional rollercoaster, and all of this in one moody day.
It is incorrect to say this emotional rollercoaster is self induced, as in ’caused on purpose’. Hormonal fluctuations are to blame.
What is a hormone, anyway? A hormone is an internal body chemical with a specific job. They are produced in the endocrine glands, and they travel to their designated organ or tissue via the body’s fluids.
For females, several hormones co-exist to control the monthly menstrual cycle. Three of those hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and androgen. Estrogen is the main sex hormone in females. It is responsible for sexual maturity, breast and hip development, and fat distribution in these areas. It also causes the sexual organs to mature and be able to reproduce. Progesterone is the hormone that maintains the thickened uterine wall after ovulation (or the releasing of a monthly egg.) This is so that the walls can grow stronger to accept a possible fertilized egg. The monthly rise in estrogen and progesterone levels in women are to blame for monthly PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome). Androgens are the hormones in the body that promote male characteristics. However they are very important in the female body, as they can be converted by the ovaries into extra estrogen during a woman’s monthly cycle. They trigger hair growth, libido, kidney functions, and sebum (oil) secretion among other things.
The skin is greatly affected by these hormones, and at times an unbalance of these chemicals can cause skin disorders. Some of these disorders include excessive hair growth on the female face, hyper coloration, and acne.
Hirutism is the excessive growth of hair in places where it doesn’t normally grow on a female. Thick facial hair on a woman’s face can be a sign of Hirutism. It is usually due to high androgen levels. Conditions that can cause high androgen levels include polycystic ovary syndrome (caused by an imbalance of sex hormones) and Cushing’s syndrome (caused by high levels cortisol hormone). However, Hirutism can also be hereditary, occurring in completely healthy women.
Hyper pigmentation, also known as liver spots, is a disorder of skin complexion and color. It occurs mainly due to the malfunctioning of the live and/or endocrine glands, which control some hormones in the body. Skin pigmentation problems occur as either an excessive coloration or darkening of the skin or a loss of color and pigment in the skin, over the entire body or just in patches and spots.
A common hormonal imbalance symptom in women is hormonal acne. Adult hormonal acne causes much anguish for many women, leading them to try all sorts of acne scars cream. Understanding exactly what causes it is necessary for knowing how to treat it.
Androgen is the main hormone behind hormonal acne. Although menstruation is a natural process and acne is a natural result of it, some women experience severe hormonal fluctuations, witnessed as abnormally high levels of androgen. This leads to severe hormonal acne. Since the beginning of the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels in the female body steadily increase. Approximately 36 hours before ovulation, these levels will peak. The female body requires extra estrogen for this to happen. The body gets it from androgens, which are converted into extra estrogen by the ovaries. This is why the female body has a raised androgen level before ovulation, and this hormone causes extra oil secretion in the skin.
