Creating a hormonal symphony
For women over 40, hormones like oestrogen and progesterone start to fluctuate and shift more than expected, often leading to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and even depression. Diet, exercise and stress management are important lifestyle variables for hormone regulation and may help lessen symptoms linked with these changes. Natural ageing processes affect the ovaries after 40s, says Dr. Vaishali Joshi, senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital. Hence sleep disturbances, stresses, and mental health issues indirectly affect the main controls in the hypothalamus, which ultimately regulate ovarian hormones.
