High levels of estrogen can put you at a higher risk for other conditions. For example, elevated estrogen levels are a risk factor for breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, high levels of estrogen over a long period of time can also cause endometrial cancer.
One of the most significant questions raised by the new study is what, if any, effect the striking rise in estrogen has on a woman's risk of breast cancer. Studies show that estrogen therapy protects against heart disease and osteoporosis but may increase the risk of breast cancer. Some research also shows that moderate alcohol consumption -- one drink a day for a woman -- may decrease the risk of heart disease and increase the risk of breast cancer, as well.
