Low Estrogen: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Who Are Mostly Affected by Low Estrogen?

You are most likely to have lo estrogen when:

– You are in the menopausal or postmenopausal period: During these times, the menstrual cycle does not occur, which causes the ovaries to stop producing estrogen. As a result, this hormone may be now released by fat cells.

– The ovaries were injured or removed during a medical treatment: Since most estrogen is produced by the ovaries, the removal or damage in these organs may lead to low estrogen levels. [6]
