In addition, low estrogen levels can adversely affect the vagina, causing thinning of the walls and dryness, which can lead to painful sex. The lining of the urethra also thins, leaving the body susceptible to infections like UTIs. Symptoms of low estrogen may include: 1  Fatigue. 2  Hot flashes. 3  Night sweats. 4  Memory lapses. 5  Difficult concentrating. 6  Joint pain. 7  Vaginal dryness. 8  Dry skin (which can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, and brown age spots).
The waste estrogens, which should bind to fiber and leave the body, pass back into the bloodstream. This hormone ârecyclingâ increases the amount of estrogen in the blood. However, the reabsorption of estrogens can be blocked with the fiber found in grains, vegetables, beans, and other plant foods. So, by avoiding animal products and added oils, estrogen production is reduced.
