A woman’s life passes with periodic hormonal changes. Around forty-five years, probable premenopause begins. Until the last menstruation, years may remain, and the hormonal background is already changing. The female body is most sensitive to the changes that estrogen deficiency causes. In some cases, gynecological diseases or psychological stresses provoke early manifestations of menopause even before forty years.
Signs of estrogen deficiency in the body
- The appearance of wrinkles at a young age is often triggered by a lack of estrogen. Symptoms affect the condition of the skin. The skin becomes dry and thin. Natural elasticity is lost. The formation of new papillomas in a short period of about six months is considered an obvious marker of a falling level of estrogen.
- Blood pressure then drops, then rises abruptly. Suddenly a cold tremor changes to heat. The woman is haunted by bouts of breakdown. The depressive state is noticeable in chronic poor mood. Discomfort in the heart alternates with pain. There is a threat of decreased intellectual abilities during menopause. It’s hard to concentrate. Often fails memory.
- The biggest trouble that estrogen deficiency causes is osteoporosis. Rapid calcium loss leads to thinning of bone tissue. An insidious tendency to household fractures with careless movement appears. Some fractures are accompanied by serious consequences in the form of an enlarged femoral neck.
- Atrophy of the vaginal wall is accompanied by a burning sensation, dryness, discomfort and extinction of sexual function. Sexual relationships are not pleasurable, and often cause pain. The mucous membrane is injured by microcracks, into which the infection easily gets.
Traditional medicine: how to increase estrogen
Correction of the hormonal background in the body should take place under the supervision of a gynecologist. The use of traditional medicine recipes is possible only in the absence of contraindications.
- Broccoli cabbage seeds, grated with linseed oil. Previously, the seeds should germinate in a wet rag. Then they are crushed and poured into half a liter of oil. Just need two tablespoons of broccoli seeds. Oil with seeds is infused for 10 days. The dose for treatment is two tablespoons of infused oil daily. Flax is a source of phytoestrogens, and broccoli gives phytoprogestins.

- Mountain ash tincture. Grate a glass of fresh rowan berries and pour a liter of vodka. Tincture ripens for two weeks in a glass dish, tightly closed with a lid. Then you need to strain the tincture. The course of treatment is a teaspoon three times a day, washed down with water or tea. Important! During treatment, you need to check the condition of the endometrium.
- Oyster mushroom mycelium tincture is a good prophylactic so that estrogen deficiency does not appear. The effect is observed if the medicine is used before menopause. Pour half a liter of vodka into a glass of mycelium. Infused for 10 days in the dark. Taken in a teaspoon twice a day. A decoction of mycelium boils for 30 minutes, a glass of mycelium per liter, cools and filtered. Take half a cup of broth per day.
Dosage forms of replacement hormones
Replacement therapy for estrogen deficiency is treated from 2 to 4 years.
- Pills are considered the most convenient form of medicine and painless. The effect is felt immediately.
- Healing patches and gels are rubbed into the skin.
- Subcutaneous implants are inserted once a year.
