Estrogen

How does estrogen work?

Estrogen in females works as a messenger during each mensual cycle. Estrogen together with ovarian hormones, signals cells in the breast to divide and multiply. Estrogen also signals the cells of the uterus to divide.

Other hormones signal the ovaries to make estrogen, and then the ovaries force estrogen into the bloodstream. Estrogen travels through the blood, but only travels to the cells that have estrogen receptors like the breast and uterus.

Estrogen has a shape that allows it to fit into an estrogen receptor the same way a key fits into a lock. The estrogen and the estrogen receptor bind to form a unit that enters the nucleus of the cell and this begins a series of events that turns on estrogen-responsive genes. These genes tell the cells to make proteins that signal the cells to carry out important activities. Some of these signaling proteins can tell the cell to divide.

Estrogen is mainly produced by the ovaries, the corpus luteum, and the placenta. Since men usually don't have these they have to rely on secondary estrogen producing organs to produce estrogen. This is one reason why males don't have as much estrogen as females. Secondary organs are the liver, adrenal glands, and the breasts.

Controlling the Reproductive Process

To stop the reproductive process by use of hormones people usually need to take the pill. The pill works by thinking the mucus around the cervix. This makes it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach any eggs that may have been released. The pill can sometimes also affect the lining of the uterus making it difficult for the egg to attach to the wall of the uterus. The pill contains mainly the hormones estragon and progesterone.

Another kind of pill is the low-dose progesterone pill, sometimes called the mini-pill. The difference is that the progesterone pill contains only progesterone. This pill can sometimes affect ovulation as well as all the other this that the normal pill does. The problem with this pill is that it must be taken more regularly.

Taking the pill can have side effects from sitting in the sun to long. If you sit in the sun to long while taking the pill your face can go brown and takes months to fade away. Taking the pill while smoking can increase the risk of blood clots. Other side effects include moods change, breast tenderer, headaches, dizziness and weight gain.

To help the reproductive process males and females can take extra estrogen. For males this can increase the amount of sperm released and for females it can soften the fibrous tissue. Taken too much of any hormone to try and get pregnant is very stupid as it helps cancers, especially breast cancer, to grow and develop.

Progesterone helps maintain pregnancy. If the baby is heading for an early birth artificial progestin can be taken to try and encourage the baby to stay in the body.

Estrogen Imbalance

Estrogen in females is responsible for making the fibrous tissue softer. I lack of estrogen could mean that the womb wont close or fibrous tissue wont soften making childbirth impossible.

However estrogen doesn't just make childbirth possible. An excess of Estrogen in women is believed to cause the weakening of the connective tissue that allows the fat to bulge up into the skin.

Excess estrogen is thought to be one of the main causes of cellulite (the fatty, uneven and wrinkled skin), perhaps because people can blame it on poor genetic inheritance. There are several treatments for normalization of hormones. For example Vitamoor is a drug proven to balance hormones.

The effects of hormones in our body are so unpredictable doctors can't predict the outcome. Lets say you reduced the amount of Estrogen with a drug, Doctors are unable to tell if you are also reducing something like calcium absorption in the bones. How do you know that womb tissues will be softened for childbirth? Estrogen has many hundreds of roles in the body and an imbalance of Estrogen is treatable but has lots of side effects.

Vitamoore is the only proven drug to balance estrogen without many side effects. It is a natural drug so it teats the problem naturally reducing the chances of a side effect to almost 0%.

Estrogen in men is responsible for the drainage of seminal fluid. The tubes running from the testes to the epididymis, where sperm mature and acquire the ability to fertilize eggs, are unable to drain off the excess liquid. Excess fluid damages the testes and sperm is not packed densely in the seminal fluid. If sperm is not packed densely in seminal fluid fertility is impaired.

Hormone sensitive cancers such as breast cancer rely on the supply of estrogen to survive. Therefore lots of estrogen would mean a quickly growing cancer. The treatment of these cancers often includes estrogen reduction.

Estrogen plays a very important role in the reproductive system. It is just as important in the male body as the female body. Without it sperm could not reach and fertilize the egg and most animals would not exist.
