Dr. Lam states that he often has patients who say they can't wear their rings anymore because their fingers are so swollen.

Putting on excess weight, especially around the belly, tends to be a sign of estrogen dominance according to Dr. Northrup.

Dr. Lam shares that endometriosis may be a sign that too much estrogen is the culprit.
