This section of our website deals with hormone issues of particular relevance to women. There really is no distinction between "female" hormones and "male" hormones; both sexes produce the same hormones, only the quantities differ. As women age, the quantities of hormones that define femininity decrease in different proportions than do men's. Therefore the symptoms women experience during the aging process are also different than their male counterparts.

At left, we address many of the symptoms common to women. If you have a question not covered here, don't hesitate to click on our "Ask the Doctor" link on this page. Your questions will receive a prompt response.
