A member asked:
Does drinkin a lot of alcohol make a females hormones low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can: Alcohol has effects of the brain pathways, from the hypothalamus to the pituitary or master gland, to the ovaries that produce estrogen and Progesterone which may lower the levels of female hormones (lowers male hormone too). This can result in lower fertility and even in breakthrough symptoms (spotting between periods). Drinking "a lot" of alcohol is not good for you - talk to a doctor/counselor.
