From the Research

根據目前的科學證據,葉黃素(lutein)不會導致子宮內膜增生(endometrial hyperplasia)。葉黃素是一種存在於綠葉蔬菜和補充劑中的胡蘿蔔素抗氧化劑,主要用於眼部健康,特別是老年性黃斑退化。沒有證據表明葉黃素補充會對子宮內膜產生激素效應,導致增生。子宮內膜增生通常與過量的雌激素暴露和不足的孕激素相關,常見於多囊卵巢症候群、肥胖、某些藥物或激素替代療法等情況。葉黃素通過不同的生物機制發揮作用,主要是作為抗氧化劑在眼組織中積累,不具有已知的雌激素樣作用,對子宮內膜無影響。如果您出現子宮內膜增生的症狀,例如異常子宮出血,應該諮詢醫療提供者,無論是否服用葉黃素補充劑 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

一些研究指出,激素替代療法(Hormone Replacement Therapy, HRT)可能會增加子宮內膜增生的風險,特別是未經對比的雌激素替代療法 2, 3。然而,這些研究主要關注的是激素替代療法的影響,而不是葉黃素的作用。因此,根據目前的科學證據,葉黃素不會導致子宮內膜增生。

需要注意的是,如果您出現子宮內膜增生的症狀,應該諮詢醫療提供者進行正確的診斷和治療。醫療提供者可以根據您的具體情況提供最佳的建議和治療方案。
