Causes of Hormone Imbalance in Women’s Health

Many skin and hair care products contain noticeable levels of phthalates that can also impact women’s health. Phthalates imitate hormones and are linked to an early onset of puberty in young women. It has also been associated with early menopause. Phthalates is also found in products that are scented, like air fresheners and perfumes.

Women’s health can also be influenced by several forms of plastic products that contain bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to breast cancer. BPA is a monomer used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic. This plastic is used to make toys for children, reusable bottles, and containers.
