Progesterone is the hormone of pregnancy

It is called so because this hormone prepares the female body for the conception and bearing of the child. When the level of progesterone in the body is high, the expectant mother begins to eat everything she sees around her. Appetite rises, and as a consequence - weight.

Particular attention should be given in the second half of pregnancy, when the appetite of a pregnant woman is especially great.

Proringron prodrugs also include breast enlargement during pregnancy and fluid retention in the body, which can lead to edema.

How is progesterone able to influence weight?

Thanks to progesterone, all that the pregnant woman has eaten goes on the gastrointestinal tract much more slowly than usual. So nutrients are absorbed much better and to the full. Then the appetite also slows down.

You noticed that a pregnant woman is calm and enlightened (if there are no extraneous irritating factors). This is also the work of progesterone. He influences the brain of a pregnant woman, and the mood of a woman rises, reactions slow down, the expectant mother feels more calm. Of course, this is only for the benefit of the child.

But there is a small danger again for weight gain. Since appetite control systems are being braked at this time, a pregnant woman can eat a lot and recover. You just need to keep scales in the house and stop at the table in time.

Testosterone in the female body

If you compare with the body of a man, then women's level is much lower. But still this hormone is present at the fair sex. However, over the years the testosterone level in women is significantly reduced.

When menopause occurs, the woman becomes much less testosterone - in whole 2 times. It should be taken into account that this can happen even before the 30th, if you do not pass the hormonal tests and do not control the level of diescitrone in the blood.

Why do I need testosterone?

Thanks to him the process of weight control is much easier. Lose weight and control weight easily. Testosterone, if it is enough in the female body, increases libido - then with men there is no problem. They feel the desire of women to them and respond in kind.

Testosterone is called an anabolic hormone. Athletes need it for the fact that muscle mass grew, and fats were burned. Then the person looks fit and slim.

Losing weight: if testosterone in the body actively cooperates in a pair with estradiol, that is, produced naturally or by hormone therapy, you can stay taut and slim for a long time. And, of course, to control your weight.

Menopause and testosterone

There is one nuance: when a woman enters the menopause period, almost 95% of the estradiol hormone and more than half of the former testosterone level can escape (not develop). This is because the ovaries cease to fulfill their role and produce the necessary sex hormones.

Therefore, a woman can begin to lose control of the weight and quickly dial it. You do not have to worry and get on a tough diet. It is important in the premenopausal period in time to see a doctor and undergo hormonal tests.

The doctor will determine what hormones the body lacks and which ones need to be added in order not to allow the fatty deposits to be deposited so quickly and actively. After all, sex hormones have the property to burn fats, promote muscle growth and activate metabolism.

DHEA - it is called a male hormone

This hormone, like testosterone, produces adrenal glands and ovaries before the onset of menopause. According to the statement of advertising of many medications, DHEA helps to quickly get rid of excess weight. In fact, this is not quite true: this hormone helps to lose weight only to men. For women, it is ineffective.

As evidenced by scientific research in recent years, DHEA for women, on the contrary, may have the opposite property. Women who receive it can quickly gain extra pounds and get a lot of health problems as a side effect.

They can begin to grow hair on the face and chest, and on the head - fall out, can acne rash appear on the most unexpected parts of the body. A very unpleasant side effect is an increase in appetite, especially a love for sweets, why women can eat cakes with tons and, of course, get better.

DHEA in large doses can contribute to the fact that a woman falls asleep badly, her sleep is restless, she wakes up broken and tired. Therefore, women should avoid DHEA unless this hormone in the right doses are not recommended by the doctor.

Take care of yourself and on time contact your doctor for hormonal examination!
