What to do if women have high estrogen levels

Men's bodies contain male hormones, and women's bodies contain female hormones. There is a certain ratio of hormones in the bodies of men and women. Too high or too little will cause adverse reactions in the human body. So what should women do if their estrogen levels are too high? Let's ask the experts to introduce this issue to us.

Women with high estrogen levels often have their brains easily in a state of tension, which can lead to excessive estrogen in the body, an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, and in severe cases, breast cancer. Are there any dangers of excessive estrogen? Gynecological experts in Quzhou pointed out that estrogen can also promote the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, maintain a plump body, color the nipples and areola, produce sexual desire, promote the retention of sodium and water in the body, and the deposition of calcium in the bones, but excessive estrogen is not a good thing.

Diseases caused by excessive estrogen include:

1. Ovarian hyperfunction can easily lead to increased estrogen secretion, such as ovarian tumors. If it is hypothalamic-pituitary hyperfunction, the secretion of gonadotropin will increase, leading to increased estrogen secretion from the ovaries, such as adenohypophyseal tumors, brain tissue hyperplasia, etc.

2. Excessive estrogen can lead to abnormal ovulation, which in turn affects conception. Women with high estrogen levels are more likely to experience endometrial thickening or uterine fibroids, which are important factors that affect women's normal conception.

3. If the estrogen level is too high, tissues other than the pituitary gland will secrete exogenous gonadotropin, leading to increased estrogen secretion, such as lung cancer, thymic cancer and other cancer tissues.

4. People with high estrogen levels are prone to nonspecific increases. For example, in cases of hyperthyroidism and cirrhosis, the sex hormone binding protein increases, which also causes an increase in the total estrogen content. What should women do if their testosterone level is too high? It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to check and determine the cause and receive early treatment.

(1) Drug treatment: The purpose is to inhibit androgen production or anti-androgen, control weight and remove excess hair.

(2) Surgical treatment: When drug treatment is ineffective and there is no desire to have children again, patients with excess ovarian androgen can undergo bilateral oophorectomy. Patients with PCOS who wish to have children can undergo laparoscopic electrocautery or laser removal of polycystic ovaries to reduce androgen levels and promote ovulation.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue. According to the above method for treatment, it can ensure that the body’s hormones remain at a normal level, so as not to affect the health of the human body. Therefore, if patients have the above problems, they should consult an expert in time for a solution. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
