THE BAD EFFECT OF ONE FORM OF ESTRADIOL IN MEN

---

What about the third hormone, E2 (17 beta estradiol). Unfortunately, E2 increases the effects of DHT in older men as they age. Also, more E2 will be formed in overweight men. The result of increased E2 is that because it increases the effects of DHT, it is largely responsible for accelerating just about all of the typical physical effects of aging that the older man does not want. A surgical procedure called prostatectomy is intended to relieve constriction of the urethra by the prostate gland. But a study by researchers at Ohio State University Medical School concluded that 40% of all prostatectomy patients were left impotent, and repeat operations are required by about 15% of prostatectomy patients.
