Is it possible to increase female sex hormones naturally?

No, it is not possible naturally. However, certain hormone drugs can influence the hormonal levels in women and help control the menstrual cycle. In this sense, we can find the following medications:

  • Contraceptives: Composed of estrogen and progesterone, which act by inhibiting ovulation and preventing pregnancy.
  • Gonadotropins: Used to cause ovarian stimulation in patients who undergo fertility treatment.
  • Estrogen patches & progesterone pessaries: Used to prepare the endometrial lining during a replacement cycle in IVF patients.
