Does sweating get rid of excess hormones?!


Question: I read online that exercising is good to rid the body of excess hormones such as estrogen, which is why it helps relieve PMS symptoms and menstrual problems. Is this true? Do excess hormones actually come out of your pores? I almost feel silly asking but I am interested to know if it's really the truth.

No, it does not. What it may do is increase blood flow, moving hormones around the body, so that they react evenly and get processed sooner.
It also creates different hormones in response to the exercise, which counter the negative aspects of PMS.

no but crying does

Excess hormones stay in your body. They do not come out of your pores.
