What are the dangers of low estrogen levels in women?

When female friends find that their estrogen levels are low during physical examinations, they still need to be vigilant, as this will bring great hidden dangers to their health. So what are the dangers of low estrogen levels in women? Because estrogen is a vital component in the female body, it will affect reproductive function and even skin aging. We must be vigilant and strengthen our awareness of prevention.

Affects skin quality

Insufficient estrogen secretion in women can seriously affect skin quality, and may even cause symptoms such as poor elasticity, deep wrinkles, multiple pigmentation, dullness, frequent peeling, and susceptibility to allergies.

Accelerated aging

When women’s estrogen levels drop significantly, they are most likely to develop osteoporosis. Bones will become lighter, softer, more brittle, and more prone to fractures; height will decrease and the back will become hunchbacked; and symptoms of low back pain will appear.

Estrogen deficiency can lead to menstrual disorders

Insufficient estrogen secretion in the body can lead to menstrual disorders, resulting in cycles that are too long or too short, and too much or too little menstrual blood. At the same time, it will make the vaginal environment worse, causing vaginal dryness, poor elasticity, and less secretions.

Lead to premature ovarian failure, obesity and ugly breasts

Once the estrogen secretion in a woman's body drops suddenly, it will lead to premature ovarian failure, and various psychological and physiological symptoms will follow. In addition to poor skin, it will also cause skin fat to thicken, making you bloated, with excess fat on your waist, abdomen, hips, and legs. At the same time, it can also lead to breast hypoplasia, with symptoms such as sagging, atrophy, shrinkage, uneven size, and dark areola.

Women who are deficient in estrogen should not supplement on their own

Insufficient estrogen in women can affect their health and appearance. Similarly, excessive estrogen in women can also be harmful. Estrogen can promote the repair and proliferation of the endometrium, but if there is too much estrogen in a woman's body, it can cause endometrial cancer. In addition, estrogen supplementation may also cause the enlargement of uterine fibroids. Estrogen supplementation can promote the development of breasts, but improper supplementation may also induce breast cancer. Moreover, estrogen can affect the balance of the coagulation system by affecting the synthesis of multiple coagulation factors. Estrogen supplementation may lead to enhanced coagulation function and cause venous thrombosis.

The above article gives a clear introduction to the dangers of low estrogen levels in women, and I believe everyone is clear about it. In order to supplement enough estrogen, it is still necessary to have a reasonable diet. It is necessary to eat more bean foods because the isoflavones in soybeans are very similar to estrogen. Of course, it is also crucial to develop good living habits.
