Estrogen dominate in perimenopause

I am 51 and going through peri menopause and had my hormone levels checked my Estrogen is 5x the amount it should be . I had the pelvic ultrasound inside and out and showed nothing, but my Regular MD is unsure and wants to send me to a Gyn , she is very concerned  but I have read a lot about Estogen Dominince and it's common and also says it can be brought down by progesterone is this true? Thanks Denise

HI,
There is a rise in estrogens many fold after menopause. Also the effects of oestrogen dominance can be countered with the help of progesterone. Hence you should consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
