Men with high estrogen should first be seen by a specialist to determine the cause of the elevated estrogen and improve the condition accordingly. Excess estrogen in men can be caused by liver disease, hyperthyroidism, and physiologic factors. Depending on the cause, different treatments are available.
Certain liver diseases: estrogen inactivation is mainly in the liver, when liver problems, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver patients may have increased estrogen levels. In this case, we need to actively treat the primary disease, antiviral, liver and other treatments, when the liver function returns to normal, estrogen can also return to normal accordingly.
Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism, also known as hyperthyroidism, may also lead to increased estrogen levels and require oral medication to inhibit thyroxine synthesis. Common antithyroid medications include methimazole and propylthiouracil. When hyperthyroidism is treated, estrogen levels will naturally decrease.
Physiological factors: due to the physiological reduction of androgen and the relative dominance of estrogen in older men, there may be feminized manifestations, such as male breast development in older men. However, when chest abnormalities occur in middle-aged and elderly men, especially unilateral enlargement in recent months, etc., it is necessary to raise vigilance to guard against the occurrence of male breast cancer, and need to go further to the Department of Nail Surgery for diagnosis and treatment.
Men who have too much estrogen need to go to the hospital for examination first, to clarify the cause of the disease, and decide on specific treatment measures under the guidance of the doctor, rather than abusing drugs on their own.
