Estrogen, this handful"Double-edged sword", at the right level, to add youthful charm and brilliance to women;However, if the level is too high, it can lead to serious diseases such as breast cancer. In the face of the challenges of breast cancer, how can we live in harmony with estrogen?
1. Adhere to endocrine**
For women who have not yet gone through menopause, estrogen mostly resides in the ovaries and binds tightly to estrogen receptors to function. To curb this trend, doctors use anti-estrogen drugs such as:Tamoxifen or Faltoon,These drugs preemptively bind to estrogen receptors, which prevents me from functioning, which in turn inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
In addition, there is a representative drug of a selective estrogen receptor modulatorFulvestrant, which alters the function of estrogen receptors, and even if it binds to me, it does not have any effect on breast cancer cells. For women who have entered menopause, because the ovarian function has declined, the aromatase enzyme in the body converts the androgens secreted by the adrenal glands into estrogen. At this point, doctors will adoptAromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, etc, further reducing estrogen production by inhibiting the function of aromatase. 
2. Avoid estrogen
When it comes to breast cancer and estrogen levels, we can't blame the endocrine system alone. In fact, breast cancer patients' intake of foods and substances high in estrogen is also a big factor. Among the many rumors, there are concerns that estrogen in soy milk and milk can cause breast cancer. The facts are:The phytoestrogens in soy milk are structurally similar to those of mammalian estrogen, but have a lower binding capacity and have a two-way effect of regulating estrogen. In an experiment involving 6,235 women with breast cancer, a soy isoflavone diet reduced all-cause mortality by 21%. Although soy milk is safe, it is important to watch out for other foods that are high in estrogen, such as royal jelly and purple river car. Royal jelly contains a large amount of substances and fatty acids with estrogenic activity, whereas purple river car contains a large amount of estrogen. In addition, certain Chinese herbs such as Bupleurum and Eucommia ulmoides have also been shown to contain estrogenic activity. Therefore, breast cancer patients should avoid these foods and Chinese herbal medicines, as well as avoid taking estrogen-containing health supplements and birth control pills. 
3. Maintain your emotions
I, as a member of the endocrine family, have the ability to activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, a physiological pathway, in response to specific stimuli to produce essential estrogen. When people are emotionally excited, stressed, or stressed, the hypothalamus begins to pick up and interpret these emotional changes, which in turn leads to the production of more estrogen. In particular, breast cancer patients should try to maintain emotional peace after surgery. Excessive mood swings, whether agitated or depressed, can trigger abnormalities in endocrine activity, leading to overproduction of estrogen. This undoubtedly increases the risk of breast cancer**. Therefore, maintaining emotional stability is essential for both post-operative recovery and prevention**.
4. Sex should be moderate
As we all know, estrogen, as a hormone, plays a vital role in the love between men and women. Sex not only stimulates the secretion of estrogen, which in turn adds harmony to sex. However, some people may wonder if the secretion of estrogen stimulated by sex can lead to breast cancer**. Actually, this concern is unnecessary.
During sex, the estrogen level in the patient's body rises slightly, but it quickly falls back to normal levels after the sexual activity and does not persist. Therefore, it does not cause breast cancer to progress. On the contrary, a high-quality sex life can enhance the patient's self-confidence, maintain endocrine balance, and make the patient feel happy, which is conducive to the disease. Of course, frequent sexual activity may deplete the patient's physical strength, affecting their immune function and overall mental state. Therefore, breast cancer patients can have sex, but only in moderation. 
5. Get enough sleep
Staying up late for a long time and being in a brightly lit environment will make the secretion of melatonin in our body become scarcer and weaker, while the secretion of estrogen will gradually increase, which will lead to the disorder of the endocrine system. When liver function is impaired, the binding of estrogen to glucuronic acid in the liver is affected, making it inactive. At this time, impaired liver function can lead to inactivation of estrogen blocked, leading to the appearance of spider angiomata, palmar erythema, and other signs. At the source, staying up late increases estrogen secretion;In terms of going to the road, staying up late hinders the inactivation of estrogen. This results in a significant increase in estrogen levels in the body. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you avoid staying up late, get enough sleep every day, and try to fall asleep before 11pm.
