Hormone Therapy

Ok, so maybe i'm way off base here but i've heard that some guys take estrogen blockers instead of taking T. Does anyone know the difference between the two? like what's the difference in the physical changes... if any? I really appreciate all of your help!

I think you will need to start taking T eventually. I believe blockers only is used for kids until they are old enough to make life changing decisions.

My understanding is that taking the blockers is only good to prevent you from entering puberty.  I have only seen it used with folks under 18.  T is the stronger hormone so it will take control of the hormones once it reaches it's optium range for your body.

Some people will start with Estrogen blockers for a month or two. They do this to completely kill their estrogen, end their cycle etc. so thtat when T kicks in.. it's able to start working immediately and not have to fight estrogen first (you can also start on a lower dose then).

The issues with taking estrogen blockers permanently is that with no T being supplemented and low levels of estrogen you may/wille ventually face issues that arise from having low hormone levels.

But then again if you have naturally high T levels.. we're talking high, you could just go for the estrogen blockers.
