What are the adverse effects of low estrogen?

If the estrogen level is low, it will cause many adverse effects and harm to women, such as easily causing female infertility, and it may also cause atrophy of the reproductive organs, cause changes in various tissues and organ systems of the body, and form menopausal syndrome.

1. Cause infertility:

Estrogen acts directly on the ovaries, stimulating the development of follicles; it also acts indirectly, with the level of estrogen in the blood promoting or inhibiting the release of gonadotropin, thereby indirectly affecting ovarian function, leading to anovulation and affecting fertility.

2. Menopausal syndrome:

There are more than 400 sites in the female body that contain estrogen receptors. When estrogen levels decrease significantly, the tissues, organs, and systems where these 400 receptors are located change, forming menopausal syndrome.

3. Atrophy of reproductive organs:

The development of female organs such as the uterus, vulva, and female reproductive tract requires estrogen. As estrogen levels gradually decrease, uterine atrophy, vulva atrophy, and female reproductive tract atrophy follow.

4. Pelvic organ prolapse:

The decrease in estrogen levels and the degeneration of the female internal reproductive system stability system may cause uterine prolapse, female genital tract prolapse, rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids and stress urinary incontinence.

5. Breast atrophy:

The size and fullness of a woman's breasts often depends on the level of estrogen.

6. Skin changes:

The skin has many estrogen receptors, and low estrogen levels can cause the skin to become dry, wrinkled, and itchy.
