When women experience problems like acne, irritability, infertility, irregular menstruation, or extreme weight gain or loss, they often think of one thing: endocrine imbalance! The endocrine system is the regulator of the body's physiological functions, and if it goes wrong, the consequences can be very serious. However, many women still have misconceptions about endocrine issues.
Two major misconceptions women have about the endocrine system
Misconception 1: Women need supplements
Some women, in an attempt to reduce excessive body hair or improve a flat chest, self-medicate with estrogen. This can result in anything from mild breast hyperplasia to serious gynecological diseases. With changes in modern women's lifestyles, dietary habits, and environmental factors, the period between 30 and 50 years old is the peak time for estrogen secretion. Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer, are caused by endocrine disorders, excessively high estrogen levels, and the accumulation of metabolic waste in the body. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial not to supplement estrogen without medical advice.
Misconception 2: Weight loss will not affect the endocrine system.
Many people, in their pursuit of weight loss, refuse rice, meat, and even dairy products, taking large amounts of diet pills and engaging in strenuous exercise. Excessive weight loss may result in physical weakness and poor mental well-being, but other than these, it won't cause significant harm. However, prolonged starvation and malnutrition can lead to the decline of pituitary gland function, preventing the secretion of sufficient gonadotropins. This results in decreased function of reproductive organs such as the ovaries, endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, infertility, premature menopause, and even premature aging.
What medication should I take for endocrine disorders?
Xiaoyao Wan (逍遥丸) has the effects of soothing the liver and relieving depression, as well as invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen. It can be taken by women with endocrine disorders. If there is excessive internal heat, Danzhi Xiaoyao Wan (丹栀逍遥丸) can be used, which also has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, making it more suitable for treating acne. Maintain a light diet and avoid staying up late.
Endocrine regulation and stress reduction therapy:
Breast enhancement and body shaping care: Utilizing traditional Chinese medicine acupressure techniques to unblock meridians, promote the secretion of estrogen, and activate glandular regeneration for fuller breasts.
Aromatherapy SPA: Relieves various stresses from work, life, physiology, and psychology, regulates women's endocrine system, and prevents and treats gynecological diseases.
Ear candling detoxification therapy: It uses the principle of vacuum suction to soothe and reduce stress.
