What causes high estrogen levels after menopause?

High estrogen levels after menopause may be caused by genetics, diet, unhealthy lifestyle, medication, hyperthyroidism, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner and take appropriate improvement or treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Congenital inheritance: The hormone level in the body is affected by family inheritance. If relatives in the family have high estrogen levels, the chance of developing high estrogen levels will increase significantly. If there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort, treatment is generally not required.

2. Diet: If you consume excessive amounts of estrogen-rich foods after menopause, such as soy milk, royal jelly, etc., it may cause high estrogen levels, which can be improved by adjusting your diet.

3. Unhealthy lifestyle: If you have too much mental stress or stay up late for a long time, it will lead to endocrine disorders and may cause high estrogen levels. You can regulate it by improving your unhealthy lifestyle, such as maintaining a happy mood, regular work and rest, etc.

4. Medication: If you frequently use estrogen-rich medications after menopause, it may cause an abnormal increase in estrogen. You must strictly follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication and try not to take medication on your own.

5. Hyperthyroidism: It is mainly caused by excessive production of thyroid hormones, which may lead to abnormal hormone levels in the body, causing increased estrogen, and can cause hypermetabolism and increased system excitability, resulting in weight loss, palpitations, hand tremors, mental irritability, etc. You can cooperate with the doctor to use propylthiouracil tablets, methimazole tablets, metoprolol tartrate tablets and other drugs for treatment, which can inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormones and improve symptoms.

It may also be due to uterine fibroids and other reasons. If you experience physical discomfort after menopause, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time, identify the cause, and then actively treat it.
