What causes high estrogen levels?

High estrogen levels are a problem that many women have. Excessive stimulation is mostly caused by ovarian factors, hypothalamic and pituitary factors, nonspecific increases, dietary factors, obesity factors or mental factors. Excessive estrogen levels can cause certain health problems in the human body, such as irregular menstruation, breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, infertility, etc., so certain methods need to be taken to regulate the body.

1. Causes of excessive estrogen

1. Ovarian factors: Ovarian hyperfunction and increased estrogen levels in the blood. Excessive estrogen levels can easily induce ovarian tumors and other diseases.

2. Hypothalamic and pituitary factors: Hyperfunction of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland leads to excessive secretion of gonadotropin, which stimulates the ovaries to secrete estrogen. It is more common in pituitary tumors and brain tissue hyperplasia.

3. Nonspecific increase: Hyperthyroidism or cirrhosis are often accompanied by endocrine disorders and imbalanced estrogen levels, which is a case of nonspecific increase.

4. Dietary factors: Overnutrition, eating foods with high hormone content such as soft-shelled turtle and eel, and taking nutritional supplements such as royal jelly and bovine colostrum containing large amounts of hormones can lead to excessive estrogen.

5. Obesity factors: Obesity and endocrine disorders can influence each other. Excessive estrogen levels can cause obesity, which can also aggravate the symptoms of endocrine disorders and cause various metabolic diseases.

6. Mental factors: Excessive estrogen is related to mental factors. Mental stress, excessive pressure and various emotional problems can affect changes in endocrine hormone levels.

2. Symptoms of high estrogen

1. Obesity: Obese people have too much fat, which will increase the storage of estrogen or convert more androgens into estrogen, thereby causing the estrogen level in the body to increase and the duration of action to prolong.

2. Menstrual disorders: Estrogen is involved in the formation of the menstrual cycle. During the follicular phase, estrogen levels rise, causing the endometrium to thicken. If estrogen levels are too high before menstruation, it will affect the normal shedding of the endometrium and menstruation will not occur.

3. Breast hyperplasia and breast cancer: Estrogen can stimulate breast hyperplasia, and excessively high levels can easily induce breast cancer. Most breast diseases are caused by excessively high estrogen levels and endocrine disorders.

4. Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are an estrogen-dependent tumor and are related to sex hormone levels. Therefore, uterine fibroids are more likely to occur in women of childbearing age with active ovarian function.

5. Uterine cancer: Estrogen and progesterone act together on the endometrium, causing the endometrial epithelial cells to proliferate and shed cyclically, leading to menstruation. If the amount of estrogen increases relatively, the endometrium will proliferate abnormally, which can easily induce cancer.

6. Infertility: Estrogen can promote the development of follicles. If the estrogen content is too high, it will affect the normal development of follicles and may cause ovulation disorders or infertility.

3. How to regulate high estrogen levels

1. Supplement estrogen to effectively regulate endocrine: Go to the hospital for endocrine testing 3 days after the onset of menstruation, and take hormone replacement therapy for hormonal abnormalities under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Psychological adjustment: Avoid excessive fatigue and excitement, maintain a happy spirit, and do appropriate exercise to relieve stress.

3. Ensure nutrition: Pay attention to a nutritious diet, eat more green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits, and eat less pickled, spicy, high-fat and other foods.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: Traditional Chinese medicine has unique therapeutic effects on regulating female endocrine. Traditional Chinese medicine uses methods such as regulating qi and blood, removing blood stasis, and replenishing Chong and Ren to regulate the functions of various organs according to individual conditions, thereby restoring estrogen levels to normal levels.
