Avatar f tn t take birth control (the high estrogen makes me grow precancerous lumps in my breasts). So she put me on flaxseed oil, she said it is a plant estrogen which might help with my lining. Has anyone done this?? Did it work?
Avatar n tn No, you don't. But giving up all dairy products is just smart. All dairy cows produce a lot of estrogen just to produce milk. Forget the fact that they are given de-wormers, antibiotics, growth hormones and such. And animal estrogen isn't a good thing. Then there comes the debate about phytoestrogens in plants. Soy for instance .... so many studies and so many different answers! Keep everything in moderation and you will do well. I actually take a drug called neurontin for hot flashes.
Avatar n tn It is helpful to eat a low fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, but do watch out for the soybeans! There is currently mixed research on them, as in some cases they are protective against cancer yet they contain isoflavones that have estrogen-like activity that can cause certain cancers to grow more quickly. The American Cancer Society has a helpful page explaining the benefits and risk factors of soy products: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3x_Soybean.

216278 tn?1308861082 before doing anything - I have heard that Soy, as well as **** Quai have estrogen in them, but I also know that **** Quai can have significant effects on any baby in the first trimester. I would be skeptical of any info you find on the web alone. Good luck!
1990256 tn?1326824857 10 years ago I was told I had ovarian cancer, I was 20. I was 1 in 100,000 of woman my age with that specific type. No body told me what to expect no body knew anything to tell me to help. I went through menapause at 20. I guess I just really need to know and want to know how to get rid of this 'fat' that it has caused. I just wanna be normal again. Nobody that age deserves a hyterectomy, nobody that age should have to deal with this.
Avatar n tn By ingesting other estrogens, there is a theoretical concern that a person could be interfering with the therapeutic effect of reducing estrogen and, in fact, give the tumor the food it needs to grow. It is not clear, however, that the types of plant estrogens found in soy and other foods are harmful to women being treated for breast cancer. Oncologists vary in their opinions on this, but many do not restrict foods.

Avatar n tn Iv'e had diarrhea for the past 4 days. Two days ago I felt sore in my anal from going to the bathroom so much. The next time that I went to the bathroom (diarrhea) it hurt. When I got up from the toilet, I noticed the water was light red. Then I checked the toilet paper after wiping. It had wet stool with a light color of red bloody mucus. since then every time I go diarrhea its stool with bloody mucus. What could be wrong with me? I thought that maybe it could be that I ate too much soy.

Avatar f tn I suspected that might be what it was for. The wild yam doesn't really have estrogen in it; it's merely a substance that mimics estrogen. I was on an estrogen patch for quite some time after my hysterectomy, but finally went off that, too. My doctor suggested black cohosh to help manage symptoms. Yes, it's important to read labels carefully, and understand what they say.
707563 tn?1626361905 Critics Challenge the Health Benefits of Alternative Meats First, there were plants. Then came plant-based products, like tempeh, made from fermented soybeans, and veggie burgers, mash-ups of vegetables and legumes. Those days seem so innocent and uncomplicated. Now the world is grappling with the Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger craze, which has made investors giddy and spurred the health police to ask uncomfortable questions.
429647 tn?1249753429 only to find out that her cancer is estrogen postive and probably caused or in some part aided in the growth of her masses. This is a very touchy subject on this forum, and as much as I love and adore Mary, she and I are on opposite sides on this one. Flashes are horrid, I will agree that I have had a really tough time with them as well as the other symptoms of menopause....but, you know what....I am alive. Gather all the facts you can....best of luck.
Avatar f tn The estrogen is kicking in with a vengeance and my poor husband has to just grin and bare it all. I think after this pregnancy he will think carefully before attempting to make number 2. Are you experiencing the same?
Avatar f tn Then I went to another gyno who said that recent studies have proved that estrogen only with uterus in tact is safer that in fact it's the progesterone that is toxic. Is anyone receiving the same advice?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your last response. I did see a dermatologist and she said the marks on my legs were sun spots. However now I have many other questions. Mt Melanoma was "in situ", which I hear is great. But now I am trying to do all I can to prevent it from coming back. I have recently read that both estrogen and vitamin C have been linked to increasing Melanoma. Is this true?
Avatar m tn Endometriosis feed off estrogen. The estrogen-dependent endo lesions, if left unchecked, will begin to create their own estrogen. I do want to clarify that the pill or any other form of HRT does not prevent the Endometriosis from growing. The reason it is used is to help stop the pain by stopping the periods. I was on a low dose BCP (Marvelon) for 8 yrs continuously and did help with my pain. However it still continued to grow even after deep excision surgery.
587083 tn?1327120262 With menopause your body stops making estrogen. Eating soy products seems to boost the estrogen a bit, but is that good? I was a regular consumer of soy milk, tofu, edamame and flax seed after menopause. After my diagnosis of breast cancer (estrogen positive) my oncologist recommended I avoid soy products because even the weak phytoestrogens may stimulate cancer cells. Research is not conclusive but better to be safe. As the addage goes, 'all things in moderation.
Avatar n tn It has also been suggested that foods like broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, spinach, turnips, soybeans, peanuts, linseed, pine nuts, millet, cassava, and mustard greens inhibit thyroid function. Best of luck!
Avatar m tn All I know is that after you get pregnant you can use an ovulation monitor as a pregnancy test since it can tell an increase just like when you ovulate. I'm not sure how soon after ovulation it works though.
Avatar n tn Does anyone happen to know if there has been a connection with too much estrogen causing more neuropathy pain?? Anyone experience the onset of neuropathy after a hysterectomy? I would appreciate any info.
Avatar n tn Scallions, sesame seeds, fish, baked tofu, soybeans, walnuts, eggs, lentils, black beans, lotus seeds, ginger, and cinnamon bark are also helpful. 4.Avoid cold and raw foods and icy beverages, as the coldness may constrict the eustachian tubes, causing poor drainage from the inner ears. 5.Maintain a diet low in saturated fats, and eliminate fried and greasy foods. 6.Avoid processed meats and dairy products, as they have a tendency to increase mucus production.
Avatar f tn I had IVF implantation on Sunday the 3rd. Today I had blood work done at the Dr's office and my Estrogen and Progesterone levels dropped "a smidgen" according to the nurse. They are having me increase my Progesterone shots from 1cc to 1.5ccs and get an Estrogen patch. The nurse says that this doesn't mean that the procedure didn't take but I am worried. It sounds like a bad sign. My question is for other people who have had IVF. Has this happened to you?
