Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After giving birth, my menstrual cycle is irregular, with a long duration and heavy flow. The doctor said it's due to a decline in estrogen. Please ask: What are the symptoms of declining estrogen? How can it be improved? Now my child no longer breastfeeds, what medication can I use? How should it be used?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can cause low estrogen in women, mainly due to abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Additionally, systemic diseases can also lead to low estrogen, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism. Low estrogen can also cause early ovarian failure, endocrine disorders, and menstrual irregularities in women.Meanwhile, estrogen can also be supplemented through food. Some foods that contain estrogen include fresh royal jelly, flaxseeds, grains, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, onions, wine, and peanut butter, among others. It is recommended that beauty-conscious women include more of these foods in their daily diet.
