Hello, symptoms of estrogen deficiency in women include menstrual irregularities—often manifesting as either scanty or excessive menstrual flow, or prolonged, persistent bleeding. Skin becomes lax, with an increase in wrinkles and progressively diminished elasticity. Osteoporosis may develop, as calcium gradually leaches from the bones. Hot flashes occur, characterized by a sudden sensation of heat spreading rapidly from the chest to the face and upper limbs. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
