It will be right to blame your hormonal changes if your allergies or asthma problems are worsening with your age.

It is concluded through researches that the allergies are often triggered with the continuous natural processes of the body such as pregnancy, puberty and menopause. Hormonal changes may intensify the attacks of asthma and more sensitive to allergens causing allergies especially in case of old women. During menstruation the chances of serious asthma attacks increases while it increases by ten folds during menopause.

At the time of menopause, estrogen and progesterone production by women ovaries decrease. As a result, the allergies are more likely to intensify at this stage. However, some women witness relatively less asthma and allergy symptoms during menopause. This is because, estrogen and progesterone acts differently in different women’s bodies. This difference in reactions allows hormonal fluctuations to react differently with asthma and allergy.

Reasons for hormone fluctuations    

There are various reasons of hormones to fluctuate abnormally with asthma and allergy problems. One such reason is the reduction of cortisol. Due to its lower amount, body tries to produce more of adrenaline to equalize the condition. Producing adrenaline causes inflammation which outcomes to increasing asthma and allergy symptoms.

Lower progesterone levels also trigger the asthma attacks and high estrogen has the same effect.

Balancing of hormonal rates

To disallow the asthma and allergy attacks from triggering, there should be no fluctuations in natural hormones. When the natural hormones are balanced, the results have been astonishing.  It definitely helps in controlling and minimizing the attacks from asthma and allergies.

Hormones are the integral part of our natural functioning body. They are invariably responsible for the health and controlling the immune system of the body. And since, the allergies and asthma symptoms depend on the immune system. It is therefore that hormones have such effect on the allergy and asthma. If they function properly, the problems of asthma and allergies may not trigger and vice versa.
