Disease description:

My skin condition has been particularly poor over the past two weeks—my pores have become enlarged, and my Adam’s apple is also more prominent. A colleague suggested I might have an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. How can I restore balance between these two hormones in my body?

Regulate and balance your diet and lifestyle. First, to balance estrogen and testosterone levels in the body, it is essential to consume adequate nutrition—particularly vitamins, minerals, and trace elements such as calcium, potassium, and sodium—while minimizing intake of spicy foods, which may trigger endocrine disruption. Second, maintaining a stable living environment is also crucial for hormonal balance: avoid extremes of temperature (neither too cold nor too hot), and engage in regular, moderate physical activity, which supports hormonal equilibrium.
