What to do if male estradiol is high

Estradiol is the most active estrogen in men. In addition to a small amount produced by the testicles and adrenal glands, most of it is produced as androgen by peripheral tissues such as skin hair follicles, fat, and nerves. Excessive estradiol in men can cause feminization. High estradiol and testosterone indicate strong sexual desire. If the level is not too high, it will not have much impact. If it is too high, it indicates the risk of testicular disease. What should men do if their estradiol is high? Let's learn more about it through the following article.

1. Go to the endocrinology department and see a general outpatient first.

2. A full set of sex hormone tests costs about 200 yuan.

3. Perform a CT scan or MRI of the pituitary gland to confirm whether the endocrine disorder is caused by a pituitary microadenoma.

4. After getting the full set of sex hormone test results and pituitary MRI results, make an appointment to see an endocrinologist.

5. Follow up with medication or surgical treatment based on expert advice.

Notice

1. Before a specialist confirms the diagnosis, do not take any medicine at will, especially hormonal drugs, as they will affect the results of blood tests and ultimately affect the expert's diagnosis.

2. It is very likely a pituitary microadenoma, a benign tumor in the brain. A complete cure may require surgery. Be prepared for this.

3. Treat seeing a doctor and finding the root cause as an important matter. Find a hospital, make an appointment for an MRI, make an appointment with a specialist, etc. Do it carefully. Don't treat it as an ordinary disease, because it is not known to most doctors like the common cold. Please make sure to find the root cause in time and don't misdiagnose.

4. Relax and maintain regular physical exercise during the treatment period. This will help you feel better and help cure the disease.

5. Remember to see an endocrinologist instead of a male specialist or urologist.

What should I do if my male estradiol level is high? After reading the above, I think you already know the answer. When this happens in a man, he will behave more feminine. For details, I suggest you go to a local regular hospital to check endocrine and other issues. You can also consider weak androgen drugs, such as danazol.
