What are the effects of high estradiol in men? Men must know

The level of male estradiol has a huge impact on male health, so male friends must have regular andrological examinations to detect and treat the problem early to avoid causing great harm to the body and mind. So what is the impact of high male estradiol on the body? In fact, if male estradiol is too high for a long time, female sexual characteristics will appear, such as enlarged breasts and reduced hair. Male sexual characteristics may decline and impotence and premature ejaculation may occur.

Reasons for increased estradiol: First, check whether there are tumors or other lesions in the adrenal glands, such as by color Doppler ultrasound or CT scan; second, check the reproductive system to see if there are any lesions; third, check your diet to see if there is a possibility of ingesting exogenous estrogen.

Estradiol is an estrogen therapy that is absorbed through the skin. It supplements the deficiency of 17-β estradiol secreted by female ovaries, while avoiding the side effects caused by oral administration (breast pain, weight gain, high blood pressure, gallstones and abnormal liver function, etc.). Estrogen can promote cells to synthesize DNA, RNA and various proteins in corresponding tissues.

Check

If the male and female estradiol is abnormal, it generally includes two types of tests: blood sample test and urine sample test. For blood sample test, you should fast for 12 hours after 8 pm the day before the physical examination to avoid affecting the test results. For urine sample test, you need to eat and move normally before the test, do not deliberately drink too much water, and you cannot lie still in bed or exercise too vigorously. For other precautions during the test, just follow the hospital doctor's regulations.

Estradiol E2: Normal range: Male: 50-200pmol/L; Female: 94-433pmol/L in follicular phase, 499-1580pmol/L in luteal phase. Test introduction: Estradiol (E2) is mainly produced by ovarian follicles, corpus luteum and placenta during pregnancy. Clinical significance: Female levels are 704-1580pmol/L during ovulation and 40-100pmol/L during menopause. Increased: seen in feminization of children, estrogen-producing tumors, gynecomastia, decompensated liver cirrhosis, and adrenal cortical hyperplasia.
