Girls have high estrogen levels

There are large amounts of male hormones in men's bodies, and large amounts of female hormones in women's bodies. This is mainly due to the genetic differences between men and women. Symptoms such as ovulation, menstruation, and leucorrhea in women are all caused by female hormones. However, normal female estrogen levels are maintained within a relatively standard range. So what happens if a girl finds that her estrogen levels are abnormally high?

Symptoms of excess estrogen in women

1. Skin quality deteriorates: dry skin, increased spots, and prone to allergies.

2. Fat thickening: The body becomes bloated, with more fat on the buttocks and legs.

3. Breast sagging: Breast hypoplasia is caused by low estrogen; the breasts are sagging, the breasts are different in size, and the areola is dark.

4. Low libido: The vagina becomes dry and inelastic, so that women gradually lose interest in sex.

5. Ovarian hyperfunction: causes increased estrogen secretion, such as ovarian tumors.

6. Having uterine fibroids, which are a type of fibroids. It is a growth of non-cancerous tissue and muscle in the uterus. Although it is not cancer, the media can cause other symptoms. Sometimes, uterine fibroids may turn into cancer, so they should be checked promptly. Excessive estrogen can promote the growth of uterine fibroids.

7. Hyperfunction of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, increased secretion of gonadotropin, thereby promoting increased estrogen secretion from the ovaries, such as pituitary tumors, brain tissue hyperplasia, etc.

8. Non-specific increase, such as hyperthyroidism and cirrhosis, causes an increase in sex hormone binding protein, which often leads to an increase in total estrogen content. In recent years, it is common to take too much health products and beverages containing sex hormones, which can also cause an increase in serum estrogen.

9. Tissues other than the pituitary gland secrete xenogonadism, which leads to increased estrogen secretion, such as lung cancer, thymic cancer and other cancer tissues. Therefore, we should always pay attention to thymus problems, such as breast cancer. It is recommended to check the cause and treat symptomatically.

10. Extreme fatigue is also a sign of high estrogen. Patients may feel tired, have headaches, joint or muscle pains, and may have a fever. Long-term fatigue can easily develop into depression, so you should seek medical attention and take treatment measures.

Causes of high estrogen levels in women

1. Female ovarian hyperfunction leads to increased estrogen secretion, which may cause ovarian tumors.

2. Hyperfunction of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland leads to excessive secretion of gonadotropin, which causes increased secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, and can easily cause pituitary tumors, brain tissue hyperplasia and other phenomena, which are completely different symptoms from those of low estrogen.

3. Non-specific increase in hyperthyroidism or cirrhosis, and increase in sex hormone binding protein will lead to an increase in the total amount of estrogen. Taking too much estrogen health products will also cause high estrogen levels.

Experts remind: Young women have high estrogen levels. As long as they arrange a reasonable diet and ensure sufficient sleep, they do not need to take health supplements at all. Women with high estrogen levels should use beauty cosmetics with caution.

Women with high estrogen levels should pay attention to their diet

1. Avoid foods with strong stimulants: such as wine, strong tea, coffee, etc., because the emotions of menopausal women are constantly changing, and eating these foods can easily lead to impulsiveness.

2. Eat a light diet: limit salt intake to less than 6 grams per day. Because menopause is often prone to hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and table salt contains a small amount of sodium ions, edible salt too much can increase the burden on the heart and increase blood viscosity, thereby lowering blood pressure.

3. Low-fat diet: limit animal fats such as lard, cream, butter, etc. and foods high in cholesterol such as egg yolks, brain marrow, animal offal, etc. Because the saturated fatty acids contained in these foods can significantly reduce the cholesterol concentration in the blood, thereby promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis. It is best to eat vegetable oils, such as corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, etc.

4. Eat less hormone-containing foods: Raw, cold, and spicy foods will affect hormone secretion. Do not eat too much food containing hormones, as it will affect the body's endocrine balance.

5. In addition, supplementing with male hormones can indeed suppress female hormones, but this is an unscientific method and is harmful to the body.
