The human body is truly amazing. I mean, think of the absolutely intricate mechanisms that happen inside it. Right from the cells getting regenerated on a regular basis, to the perfectly coordinated functions – the entire body is nothing short of a magical work of some really talented wizard lord, or so it seems!

But jokes apart, it is truly very, very intriguing when you come to think of it. I mean, how is it possible for everything to be so much in sync, and so perfectly too? One hormone is let loose and you have it affecting the smooth flow of so many things that your body does! I mean, we all tend to take out bodies for granted till we are denied use of a part. Only then do we realize how precious that part is. Ever broken a limb or sprained an ankle? You’ll know exactly what we mean.

Which brings us to the real point of this article: the presence of too much estrogen in your bloodstream. Estrogen, commonly known as the ‘female’ hormone, is what brings about the normal running of the female reproductive system . It helps in making you fertile, and in maintaining the regular menstrual cycle of your body. It also helps in keeping your fallopian tubes, the uterus, and even your vagina, in perfect shape.

And here’s the more interesting part: apart from these things, estrogen also helps in maintaining your body’s bone structure and calcium supply . It also contributes to keeping your heart healthy as well as maintaining a balanced mental health. As if this wasn’t enough, it also keeps your skin looking healthy, young, and wrinkle free. Which simply means that a lack of it can have an effect on all of the above.
