Why Men Need Estrogen Too

As testosterone levels rise during treatment, some of it naturally converts to estrogen. For most men, this process finds a new equilibrium, but in some cases levels need to be monitored and adjusted.
Signs of Imbalance
Symptoms of estrogen imbalance can include mood changes, fluid retention, or breast tenderness. Regular bloodwork helps your provider catch and address these shifts early, keeping your entire hormone profile in a healthy range.
