Yoga increased serum estrogen levels in postmenopausal women-a case report (original) (raw)

Menopause (New York, N.Y.), 2016

Abstract

This case report aimed to evaluate 4 months of yoga practice on the quality of life (QOL) and estradiol levels of two postmenopausal women. Participants were clinically healthy postmenopausal women, with follicle-stimulating hormone levels greater than or equal to 30 mIU/mL and a body mass index lower than 30 kg/m. The participants practiced yoga for 4 months in two 1-hour sessions per week. The participants exhibited an abnormal estrogen-level increase after 4 months of yoga practice and showed QOL improvements. In some cases, yoga practice can affect the female neuroendocrine system, increasing estrogen and improving QOL.
