Dr. Ender Saraç was a guest of Gökay Kalaycıoğlu, the host of the program "Haber Bahane" published on Haberler.com. Ender Saraç made striking statements, stating that modern life affects women and men physiologically and hormonally.

"WOMEN HAVE BECOME MORE MASCULINE, MEN HAVE BECOME MORE FEMININE"

Saraç expressed that women's reduced birth rates, late motherhood, and heavy responsibilities in their career life disrupt their hormonal balance. He also mentioned that unhealthy eating habits and environmental factors brought by modern life play a significant role in hormonal changes. Highlighting the increasing gynecological disorders and early menopause cases in recent years, Saraç stated, "Women have become more masculine, and men have become more feminine."

"THE SYSTEM GOES INTO DEFENSE MODE"

Speaking by considering that a woman ovulates 400 eggs throughout her life and starts menstruating at the age of 14-15, Saraç said, "I ovulate hundreds of them, but none of them get fertilized. In this case, the system goes into defense mode." According to Saraç, women's reduced birth rates, late motherhood, and heavy responsibilities in their career life disrupt women's hormonal balance. He emphasized that "Women have to continue their work in pain during board meetings," and this situation upsets the balance of estrogen and testosterone.

"THE MORE YOU POSTPONE SOMETHING, THE MORE THE BALANCE CAN BE DISTURBED"

Stating that every woman has testosterone at certain low percentages and every man has estrogen, Saraç said, "The three organs that differentiate women from men the most; ovaries, uterus, and breasts do not gain function. It does not fit the realities of our time, but getting pregnant at an earlier age and experiencing pregnancy in the uterus at an earlier age, fertilization of the egg, and breastfeeding are important. The more you postpone something, the more the balance can be disturbed."

"WE HAVE LOADED A LOT OF BURDEN ON WOMEN"

Saraç pointed out that women are burdened excessively in modern life, stating, "When poor nutrition is added to this, along with lack of exercise, excessive fat accumulation, stress, and the use of many chemical drugs, the balance can be disturbed. Most of the incredibly productive modern ladies I admire in the metropolis are using antidepressants. Because we have placed such a burden on women. You are strong. You pay the bill too. We have also loaded male roles onto women."

"WE MISINTERPRETED MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY"

Saraç stated, "I think we misinterpreted masculinity and femininity." He added, "We have loaded women with male responsibilities. The age of childbirth has been pushed back significantly. We have exhausted women with motherhood, career, childbirth, and earning money responsibilities. Consequently, hormones responded accordingly. The age of menopause has dropped quite early."
