Abstract EN
IgE recognition of autoantigens might augment allergic inflammation in the absence of exogenous allergen exposure.
Among allergy and autoimmunity, there is disproportionate representation of males before puberty and females after puberty, suggesting a role for sex hormones.
Hormone allergy is an allergic reaction where the offending allergens are one's own hormones.
It is an immune reaction to the hormones, which can interfere with the normal function of the hormones.
It can occur perimenstrually in women along with the variation in menstrual cycle.
The perimenstrual allergies are about the cyclic abundance of the hormone causing a cyclic expression of allergic symptoms.
The inflammatory mechanisms of allergic reactions to hormone allergens, which are intrinsic to the body, are the same as the mechanisms of allergic reactions to external allergens.
