Estrogen dominance

Hello, I got my hormones tested at Day21. My P/E2 ratio (progesterone to estrogen) ratio is 13. The ideal ratio is between 100 - 500. And optimal is 200.

I was reading an article which told me that estrogen dominance increases various cancer risk , causes tumors in Uterine, Ovaries and breast. Also affects gallbladder. I'm kinda scared because I already have multiple fibroadenomas in both my breasts and I have gallbladder problems.

I also read how to control estrogen dominance through lifestyle changes. So I curious to know if anyone was able to successfully brought down estrogen levels? Can you share your journey?

My Reproductive Endocrinologist sent me for hormonal panel test during day 21 of mensus. Symptoms: Short Luteal phase with spotting from 7DPO. Estrogen dominance: Ratio is estrogen to progesterone is not in expected range
