High estrogen levels in men, also known as estrogen dominance, can be caused by:

Obesity:

Fat tissue converts testosterone to estrogen

Liver dysfunction:

Impaired estrogen metabolism

Hormonal imbalances:

Low testosterone levels

Overactive aromatase enzyme (converts testosterone to estrogen)

Environmental factors:

Exposure to xenoestrogens (environmental estrogens)

Certain plastics, pesticides, and personal care products

Diet:

High consumption of soy products

Excessive alcohol intake

Medications:

Certain antibiotics

Some prostate cancer treatments

Age:

Natural increase in estrogen with aging

Genetic factors:

Some men may be more prone to higher estrogen levels

Tumors:

Rarely, tumors in the testes or adrenal glands can increase estrogen production

Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or medication to block estrogen production or its effects. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
