Question 5

does budlight have estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Beer has estrogen if it contains hops, as most beers do.  Hops are very estrogenic, and young girls picking hops have been reported to have early puberty.  It is not surprising then that male breast enlargement and impotence are also associated with heavy beer consumption.  A little research reveals to me that budlight does indeed contain hops, so the answer is an unequivocal yes.

Question 7

how do you increase estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) are present in many foods.  However, one might ask why you want to increase your estrogen.  If you are menopausal, you can try food supplements or actually take estrogen orally.  Most birth control pills contain Estrogens but usually lower estrogen levels by also suppressing the ovaries.  To answer your question better, i would have to know what your objective is.

They are found only in animal-derived foods, and some mushrooms/fungi.

Question 10

should i take estrogen pills

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause: Check with your PCP or GYN, when was your last period? If this was over a year ago, then you are postmenopausal. If not, you are perhaps perimenopausal. If your symptoms are bothersome, and especially, since you are young, hormone therapy may be appropriate, however, there needs to be a baseline evaluation and discussion.
