Some women are troubled by high testosterone and hormone imbalance in the body, which leads to some diseases, so they will try to reduce testosterone. When some women are looking for ways to lower their testosterone, they have heard that drinking soy milk for three months has reduced their testosterone. Is this true? Can drinking soy milk lower testosterone levels if they are high?

Testosterone is actually the male hormone. Excessive male hormones in women are abnormal and can easily lead to masculine characteristics in women, such as thicker voices, increased body hair, etc. Soy milk contains a substance called soy isoflavones, which are similar in structure and properties to estrogen, so it is called phytoestrogens. Drinking more soy milk will have some improvement on excessive male hormones in women, but it will not play a decisive role.

When women have high testosterone, drinking soy milk can affect the decrease in testosterone, but it cannot directly cause the decrease in testosterone. Because even though soy milk contains phytoestrogens, it is not a drug after all. In the process of treating high testosterone, soy milk can only play an auxiliary therapeutic role and cannot completely rely on soy milk to reduce testosterone. Lowering testosterone requires a doctor's diagnosis and drug treatment. For example, it can be treated by taking Chinese herbal medicine that can lower male hormones, but you must follow the doctor's instructions.

Although soy milk is good, you should not drink it excessively during auxiliary treatment, otherwise it will easily lead to symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea. Excessive drinking of soy milk can easily have adverse effects on the body.
