Does dht actually lower e2?

I've read time and time again that DHT is a natural AI.(mostly bro science) Does DHT actually lower serum levels of e2? Or just hide the side effects of elevated e2?

The only actually study I could find stated just the opposite, that dht could actual stimulate aromatase.
 
I didn't experience that, I was doing something else (unintentionally) driving my E2 way up, I suspect, at the same time I'm using Test Cream on my Scrotum specifically to treat my low DHT condition. I've nearly tripled my DHT value to just over lab range while my E2 soared to 50s and 60s. What I was doing that I thought was good that may account for the soaring E2 was I was applying my DHEA/Preg cream to my nuts. Dr Saya and I think that that was the culprit with my E. I was doing that on my own, not on his advice, and I've since stopped doing that. I need to retest my E/DHT/DHEA-S values in a few weeks.
 
I was applying cream to my balls and did not notice any increase in E, slight tingling sensation upon application, nothin else.

I was reading in a forum on the site T Nation that there was a forum where guys are injecting directly into their ball sac.....................hmmm...............I wonder if it was serious
 
good ole TNation...where a .25mg Anastrozole EOD is REQUIRED. That forum contributed to me tanking my E when I didn't know any better. That "KSMan" shouldn't have any followers. AT ALL.

His advice is about gospel over there. He seems to mean well but I'm just learning that his advice was probably not the best to be following, Like tanking e2.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
