Men and women have dominant levels of specific hormones in their body that play a role in a wide array of metabolic functions – testosterone for men and estrogen for women. Although each hormone is identified with a specific sex, both of them are found in men and women.
The estrogen family includes the following:
In women, the hormone estrogen along with the other female hormone called progesterone play an integral role in menstruation and almost all functions of the reproductive system. In men, the hormone estrogen also has a role in maintaining sexual health. While the hormone testosterone is the primary regulator of sexual function in men, estrogen levels need to stay in balance with testosterone to prevent unpleasant symptoms that may affect overall quality of life.
In prepubescent male, the level of estrone is 0-16 pg/ml while estradiol is 0-13 pg/ml. In pubescent male, estrone level is 0-60 pg/ml while estradiol is 0-40 pg/ml. In adult male, the normal range of estrone is 10–60 pg/ml while 10–40 pg/ml for estradiol.
High estrogen levels can cause men to develop the following health problems:
Estrogen deficiency in men can also lead to the following health concerns:
Balanced estrogen levels are critical to optimal health. An abnormal increase or decrease in estrogen can put you at greater risk for a broad range of medical maladies.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that men with the lowest estradiol levels were more likely to die during a three-year follow-up. [94] In contrast, men with balanced estradiol levels (21.80 to 30.11 pg/mL) had the lowest death rates.
Another study published in the JAMA investigated the effects of testosterone and estrogen on body composition, sexual function, and strength in men. [95] While testosterone administration in these subjects produced positive effects on various aging factors, the Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital administered the estrogen-suppressing drug anastrozole at high doses. The doctors overdosed the study subjects with the medication to proclaim that the subjects need estrogen and testosterone. As a result, the subjects had abnormally low estrogen levels (1.0 to 2.8 pg/mL) which in turn led to adverse effects such as increased abdominal fat, decreased sexual desire, and erectile dysfunction.
