How to supplement estrogen correctly

Menopause, which is the end of menstruation, can also be called amenorrhea or menopause, which is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. After menopause, women's estrogen secretion will become lower and lower, which will accelerate the body's aging, causing dull skin, increasing spots and wrinkles, and will also cause women to suffer from menopausal syndrome, decreased libido, osteoporosis, night sweats, insomnia and nightmares, seriously affecting the quality of life, and even increasing the risk of genitourinary system diseases and cardiovascular diseases. It is not difficult to see how important estrogen is to women.

It is not difficult for postmenopausal women to supplement estrogen. Now, I will teach you 3 methods, all of which are very common methods, to help you retain your youth and look younger. Here is also a reminder that the third method should be used with caution and it is best to follow the doctor's advice.

Next, why not take a look at it.

1. Diet

In their daily diet, postmenopausal women may want to eat more foods containing estrogen, such as bean products, especially soybeans. Studies have found that 1 cup of soybeans contains about 300 mg of soy isoflavones, whose medicinal value is equivalent to 0.4 mg of estrogen, and the soy isoflavones in soybeans can have a dual effect of regulating estrogen. In addition, postmenopausal women can also eat more pumpkin, kelp, seaweed and other ingredients to supplement estrogen.

In addition, you can also supplement a lot of xylan for the human body by eating more edible oil, pine nuts, wheat, walnut kernels, black beans, sunflower seeds, dates and other grains. Did you know that although xylan itself does not have the function of estrogen, it can be converted into estrogen compounds after entering the human intestine, thereby exerting the function of estrogen.

2. Chinese Herbal Medicines

Maybe many people do not have much trust in Chinese herbal medicine. In fact, the development trend of Chinese herbal medicine is very rapid nowadays, and there is a lot of data and information available in the clinical medicine field. For postmenopausal women, Chinese herbal medicine is also a very good way to protect their ovaries and prevent aging. Studies have shown that the soy isoflavones contained in the Chinese medicinal herb Pueraria lobata have estrogen-like effects, which can stimulate the vitality of the uterus and ovaries, making women's skin smooth, tender and younger; the Chinese medicinal herb Angelica sinensis contains estrogen-specific ingredients that can promote estrogen secretion... There are also some Chinese medicinal herbs that can partially restore the function of the uterus and ovaries to secrete estrogen and ovulation by regulating the female body. Of course, women should avoid taking Chinese herbal medicine on their own. It is recommended to go to a reliable Chinese medicine hospital for consultation.

3. Growth hormone replacement therapy

Growth hormone replacement therapy refers to the oral administration of female hormones and estrogens. These hormones can be divided into natural estrogens and synthetic estrogens. This method can help menopausal women improve symptoms such as hot flashes, menopausal syndrome, osteoporosis, etc., but this treatment should be used with caution and must be carried out under the guidance of a specialist. In general, the risk of growth hormone replacement therapy for women under 60 is much lower than that for women over 60.

Because every woman's physical condition is different, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for a comprehensive health check-up, and then follow the doctor's advice to supplement female hormones.

There may be many postmenopausal women who are quite resistant to the supplementation of estrogen, fearing that it will increase the risk of cancer. In fact, as long as estrogen is supplemented effectively under the guidance of a doctor, the risk of cancer is not high.

In addition, according to the "latent period" definition proposed by the International Menopause Society, the best time for women to start taking estrogen supplements is within 10 years of menopause or under 60 years old. Regarding the duration of estrogen supplementation, generally speaking, there is no problem with continuous estrogen supplementation within 5 years. In other words, as long as the annual follow-up meets the standards, growth hormone supplementation can continue.
