If the condition requires it, boys can take estrogen therapy as prescribed by their doctor.
Estrogen is also secreted in the male body, just in smaller amounts. Estrogen has the effect of balancing hormone levels in the body and protecting bone health in men.
It is best to keep estrogen levels within a positive range in men. If male patients take too much estrogen, it will lead to breast development, breast swelling, decreased sperm quality, decreased sexual function, testicular atrophy, excessive fat accumulation and other symptoms.
Men can take estrogen treatment as prescribed by their doctor. Estrogen is used in men in applications such as estrogen taken to suppress erections after circumcision and estrogen taken to block androgens in prostate cancer patients.
Estrogen is a prescription drug and should be used under a doctor’s supervision, not blindly on its own.
