Question 1

hi i want to know the diet to lower down estrogen level in women . i am 28 yrs women?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I'm not sure that women can 'lower' their estrogen levels with foods.  Your estrogen levels are most closely related to the levels your brain signals your ovaries to produce, not ingested food amounts. Having said this, i found a list of foods to avoid if you're convinced dietary changes could effect your levels: http://www.Stylecraze.Com/articles/estrogen-rich-foods/.

Question 2

do women with smaller breasts have lower estrogen levels?

Accepted Answer

No.: Estrogen levels are the same.  Breast size is determined much more by genetics and even more so by surgery.

Question 3

i was wounding if higher testosterone levels in women cause acne? if so what can i do to lower my testosterone and increase my estrogen levels?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Acne can be caused by many things such as diets high in refined sugars,  dairy, hormonal fluctuations and pcos (women with higher testosterone).  It is difficult to decrease testosterone levels but you can try vitex (chasteberry) from otc to balance yourself, use birth control such as yaz/yasmin, can help.

Question 4

Question 5

what are the causes of low estrogen levels in women under 20?

Accepted Answer

Many : Not ovulating, premature ovarian failure, turners syndrome and many other conditions.  If you know someone with symptoms of low estrogen levels then have them seek medical attention asap.

Question 6

what causes very low estrogen levels in women aged 20-30 years old?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Simply not having periods may lower estrogen. That may be from premature ovarian failure, or  hormone treated endometriosis (gnrh);  found in association with scoliosis and diabetes. Low estrogen times of the cycle seem to be associated with greater incidence of post traumatic stress,  thinking backwards, there may be neuro-hormonal signals that suppress estrogen levels. Ob/gyn eval or endocrine.

Question 7

does drinking spearmint tea increase estrogen levels in women?

Accepted Answer

No: I can find no evidence that this is the case.  You list your age as 21.  If there is a concern about a hormonal imbalance, talk to an ob/gyn to get further clarification.

Question 8

how to decrease estrogen levels?

Accepted Answer

Don't: Estrogen levels should not be lowered.  They are critical in a womans fertility, regular cyclicity and have many beneficial effects.  If there is a specific condition that warrants suppression then there are many treatments, including lupron, (leuprolide) birth control pills and other methods.  The question should be why do the estrogen levels need to be decreased?
