How Estrogen May Be Ruining Your Lovelife and What You Can Do About It
Although men require some estrogen in order to maintain bone and heart health, estrogen dominance is a far more common problem for men. Estrogen dominance is a condition where you have too much estrogen or not enough progesterone or testosterone to balance out the effects of estrogen. Estrogen dominance causes you to become less manly – you lose muscle mass, body hair becomes sparse, and you gain belly and breast fat (man boobs). Your libido and sperm count are also reduced, you may become highly emotional, and in advanced stages, erectile dysfunction and infertility can develop.
