What to do if you have low estrogen levels

Patients can supplement estrogen through diet, or take medication as prescribed by the doctor if necessary, while improving lifestyle and treating primary diseases. When the estrogen level is slightly low and the abnormal physical symptoms are mild, you can consume estrogen-rich foods such as soybeans and soy products, cereals, eggs, onions, etc. Foods containing saturated fatty acids such as milk can stimulate estrogen secretion, and also pay attention to calcium supplementation because people with low estrogen levels are prone to calcium deficiency. If estrogen deficiency is more serious and the symptoms are more severe, and the effect of diet regulation alone is not effective, estrogen preparations, such as estradiol valerate, should be supplemented in a timely manner. In addition to direct oral estrogen supplementation, the cause of low estrogen should be identified and treated symptomatically. Low estrogen levels are usually caused by unhealthy lifestyle, poor mental state, and rapid weight loss, which suppress the cerebral cortex and lead to a decrease in estrogen secretion by the hypothalamus, and should be treated promptly to improve the living condition and maintain a healthy body.
