    GlossaryEstrogen Deficiency

    insufficient estrogen production affecting reproductive health and bone density

    Estrogen deficiency, also known as low estrogen, occurs when the body produces insufficient levels of estrogen, a key hormone in regulating the reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. This condition can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, mood swings, and can increase the risk of osteoporosis due to decreased bone density. It is commonly seen in postmenopausal women but can also affect younger women due to various medical conditions or treatments.
