I did not know that men such a condition as high estrogen levels in men existed until I consulted a doctor when I started experiencing high loss of muscle mass. I thought it had something to do with my recent trips to the gym to reduce the size of my torso. I am not sure anyone can imagine my surprise when she gave me the news that I had too much estrogen in my body.<\/p>\n
Apparently, it is not an isolated condition. Numerous men suffer from it, only that they experience it in a multitude of ways. My high estrogen levels presented themselves with increased abdominal mass as well as loss of muscle mass in my case. For some men, she explained, too much estrogen results in sexual dysfunction. It was one of the causes of erectile dysfunction and lower libido in middle-aged men.<\/p>\n
For others, mood swings and increased feelings of depression indicated the presence of high estrogen levels. Others had increased breast tissue whereas for others high estrogen levels presented in simple conditions such as fatigue. My doctor also pointed out that no matter the symptoms or the causes of elevated levels of the hormone, it was crucial to lower them. Otherwise, they would result in serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
