Patient's question:
I feel particularly uncomfortable, and this has been going on for a long time. Could you please advise whether estrogen or progesterone supplements are more appropriate during menopause?Doctor's answer:
Recurring menopausal symptoms may occur, and during this time, estrogen levels can become somewhat erratic. This can lead to irregular menstrual cycles. Currently, the primary approach is to try and supplement with estrogen-rich foods. For example, substances like soy isoflavones can be used as medications, and consuming more soy-based products such as soy milk can also help in regulating the condition.
