DHT/estradiol optimal ratio in men

[ak7802]

Hi, what's the optimal ratio of DHT to estradiol and testosterone? Testosterone and estradiol are within the upper limits of normal, while DHT is more than twice the normal range. Could this imbalance be causing erectile dysfunction and libido problems? If so, is it better to increase estradiol above the normal range or lower DHT levels to within the normal range?

yes longterm higher DHT can create issues for some, usually in the terms of displacing estradiol which in return gives you low E2 symptoms even though estradiol is in good range.

What protocol is producing these labs? Scrotal cream?

IMHO the notion of a ratio of hormones is utter garbage.

You're not divulging enough to base an opinion off; labs and protocol.

No scrotal cream, 35 mg testoterone enan Sub-Q every day, and 10 mg primobolan Sub-Q every day.

So, keeping estradiol higher than normal rage (about 70 pd/ml) might be a solution ?

You're probably barking up the wrong tree with the ratio here. You're doing at least three things which are commonly associated with poor libido and erectile problems:

1. Daily injections of long esters
2. Use of primobolan at any dose
3. Massive doses of testosterone
4. (Controversial bonus) Subq injections

T ng/dL x 0.04= E2 in ng/dL x 10= E2 in pg/mL (Estradiol is usually 0.2-0.4% of Total T)

T ng/dL x 0.1= DHT in ng/dL (DHT is near 10% of total T)


DHT/E2= 0.10/0.04= 2.5
