[QUOTE="BruceWayne, post: 267630, member: 45908"] I know of no studies that show higher estrogen causes health problems, I know of many that show that blocking or reducing estrogen in relation to testosterone can have major health risks. I have researched reproductive endocrinology for over forty years and have seen and had in depth discussions with one of the leading reproductive endocrinologists in the country. There is a reason that doctors like him do not normally prescribe estrogen inhibitors or blockers. There is no empirical data to support their use for hypogonadism. I have read many of these threads where people have perfectly normal testosterone levels, yet they are on testosterone. They have read about what someone thinks the "optimum" level of testosterone is for a given age. In reality most of these people want to have supraphysiological levels of testosterone. Make no mistake there are long term risks with this. Just take a look at the disproportionate number of bodybuilders and wrestlers that have heart attacks or heart failure.
