- 大黄 (Rhubarb):由于大黄含有雌激素样物质,其提取物被试用于更年期症状的治疗。在一项为期12周、涉及109位有更年期相关症状的女性的双盲研究中,研究人员发现大黄提取物能明显改善更年期症状。注意:过量使用生大黄是有毒的。在上述研究中所使用的大黄提取物已经处理去除了其毒性成分。
- 草花粉提取物 (Grass pollen):草花粉提取物在良性前列腺增生的治疗方面有一定的疗效。这可能得益于其激素样作用。基于这一点,研究人员评估了它们对治疗更年期症状的效果。根据一项有54位更年期不适的女性参与的双盲研究,草花粉提取物确实有益于改善这些症状。
- 草药野葛根 (Pueraria mirifica):由于野葛根含有许多植物雌激素,近来被认为能有效治疗更年期症状。在一项双盲研究中,野葛根显示能缓解阴道干燥症状。在另一个研究中,研究人员比较了野葛根和标准雌激素治疗的效果,结果显示:在一部分症状的缓解方面,两者效果相当。
- 雌三醇 (Estriol):十余年来,一些人宣称:雌三醇这种特殊类型的雌激素不同于常规的雌激素,它不会增加癌症的风险。然而这个说法是无依据的。雌三醇的疗效是毋庸置疑的。许多双盲研究已证实口服雌三醇或其阴道用药对缓解潮热、盗汗、失眠、阴道干燥、复发性尿道感染及骨质疏松都是有效的。然而如同其他类型的雌激素一样,口服雌三醇被发现也会刺激子宫内膜的增生,从而导致子宫内膜癌风险的增加。此外,一些初步研究显示:与其他类型的雌激素一样,雌三醇也会增加乳腺癌的风险。所以如果您考虑使用雌三醇,将其视为与其他雌激素是一类的。
