One of the leading causes of dyshormonal gynecological diseases (DGDs) is the body’s accumulation of toxins and heavy metals that have a hormone-like effect and lead to hyperestrogenism due to the formation of harmful estrogen metabolites. The intestinal microflora, namely its imbalance with the predominance of fungal and other opportunistic microflora, are directly involved in these processes. In this connection, correction of the microflora in the intestine, a reduction in its wall hyperpermeability, and the body’s general detoxification should be considered as a pathogenetically justified treatment for DGDs.
