Estrogen is one of many hormones in our bodies. It’s also one of the most important hormones a human can produce, especially for women. You need adequate estrogen levels to regulate your menstrual cycle and support general reproductive health. Having low levels of estrogen normally coincides with health problems like weaker bones, higher cholesterol, and dry skin.
That’s normally the main worry for a lot of women: producing too little of this hormone. However, what happens if you produce too much? High levels of estrogen are potentially dangerous for women, and we’re going to run through some of the main health concerns this might create. We’ll also round off this post with some key signs and symptoms to look for, as well as solutions to maintain “healthy” estrogen levels.
Women will naturally produce more estrogen than men – it’s what sets us apart and helps to develop female reproductive organs. But if these estrogen levels get too high, you run the risk of exposing yourself to the following problems:
It’s worth pointing out that many of these health concerns (particularly the serious ones) only come about after long-term excess estrogen production. Spot your problem early, and you can avoid the more severe health worries.
Thankfully, noticing the signs and symptoms of excess estrogen production is fairly easy. Keep an eye on the following:
If you spot any of these, then speak to a doctor immediately and get tested.
There are normally only a couple of ways to decrease estrogen levels. The first is to look for dietary supplements that may gradually lower them without the need for medication. Supplements, including calcium D-glucarate, are particularly trendy right now for that specific reason. You could also try adapting your diet to eat more anti-inflammatory foods and reducing alcohol consumption to decrease estrogen production.
The second option is to use prescription medication given to you by a doctor. This will only be required if you don’t see any changes when using dietary supplements or altering your lifestyle habits.
Overall, it’s good to visit a doctor if you notice any of the symptoms/signs noted earlier. Even if there isn’t a problem, it helps to be tested so you get peace of mind.
