According to media reports, Xiaofang, a 22 year old college student, began developing her breasts at the age of 14 and now has prominent breasts, which from the side seem to have "buried" a small egg. After examination, it was found that Xiaofang's estrogen level was significantly high and breast development was abnormal. He said he has always loved eating foods such as fried chicken wings. Clinical practice has found that the higher the estrogen level in many men, the more risk factors for male infertility and sexual dysfunction.
For young and middle-aged people, when it comes to marriage and childbirth, men may experience sexual dysfunction and infertility due to high estrogen levels. In addition, changes in the ratio of estrogen to androgen can lead to changes in testicular tissue structure, which may induce testicular cancer. In normal men, testosterone (androgen) can be converted into estradiol (estrogen) under the action of aromatase. In addition to some endocrine diseases, the increase in estrogen in men is mostly related to environmental pollution, illegal food additives, and poor lifestyles.
How can men avoid an increase in estrogen?
Foods such as soybeans, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and fennel all contain phytoestrogens that mimic the estrogen effects in the body. Many meat and dairy products contain artificial estrogen. In addition, the common parabens found in products such as soap and shampoo are also phytoestrogens.
Although testosterone is the main male hormone, men can also secrete small amounts of estrogen. Estrogen is necessary for men to regulate fluid resorption and help sperm development. Estrogen dominated men should avoid estrogen based foods and products.
