Estrogen dominance is essentially a state of hormonal imbalance in the female body, where the total concentration of estrogen exceeds that of progesterone. This condition is established when the estrogen levels tend to rise unabatedly or progesterone levels start dipping abnormally and when both these conditions exist simultaneously.

Estrogen dominance is usually found among women who are slowly progressing towards menopause, those who are diagnosed with genetic hormonal problems and those seeking hormonal therapy of some sort. During this condition, the overall health of the female is compromised, particularly her ability to reproduce. This is because her sexual health suffers under elevated estrogen levels. The menstrual cycles become highly disturbed and there is a greater chance of developing serious fertility deterrents like PCOS. This condition can cause vaginal dryness apart from impairing the health of uterine and vaginal tissues. This makes intercourse rather painful apart from impairing the body processes required for establishing pregnancy.
