Too much estrogen

Estrogen is a hormone unique to females. Of course, there are also androgens in female bodies, but the amount of estrogen is much greater than that of androgens. Generally speaking, the more common problem for women is too little estrogen, which leads to irregular menstruation and other phenomena. However, some women are troubled by too much estrogen. Whether it is too much or too little estrogen, it is very bad for the body.

Estrogen affects women's secondary development. Its main function is to control the endocrine system in women, help regulate their menstrual cycle and enable them to have fertility. Once estrogen becomes abnormal, it must be treated in a timely manner.

Estrogen is a female hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta. The adrenal cortex also produces small amounts of estrogen. After female children enter puberty, their ovaries begin to secrete estrogen to promote the development of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries themselves. At the same time, the endometrium proliferates and produces menstruation. Estrogen can also promote the accumulation of subcutaneous fat and a fuller body; cause breast hyperplasia, darker nipples and areolas, and produce sexual desire; promote the retention of sodium and water in the body and the deposition of calcium in the bones, etc.

Foods that can help reduce estrogen in the body include soybeans and soy products. Soybeans and soy products have the function of balancing estrogen in women's bodies. The large amount of phytoestrogens contained in soybeans and soy products play an important role in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. The key is that soybeans will change the secretion of hormones in the body. Clinical medical studies have shown that soybeans and soy products have the function of balancing estrogen in the body. When the estrogen level in the body is too low, soybeans or soy products will increase it, but when the estrogen level is too high, soybeans or soy products will also reduce it.

Women with high estrogen levels should avoid drinking stimulating beverages such as coffee and alcohol, which can easily cause mood swings. In addition, they should reduce salt intake in their daily diet and keep their diet as light as possible. If the food contains hormones, you should also reduce the amount of consumption, as it may easily affect the secretion of hormones in the body.
