Hello everyone
I’ve been experiencing some side effects recently: noticeably lower libido and increased irritability. All other blood markers came back normal. Estradiol is elevated, while prolactin is perfectly within range.
Lab results:
- Total Testosterone (Gen. 2 assay): >52.0
- Free Testosterone (serum): 53.8 ng/L
- SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin): 25.4 nmol/L
- Estradiol (E2, Gen. 3 assay): 87.3 pg/mL
- Prolactin Gen. 2 (SE) 11.9 µg/l
Because of the elevated estradiol, I was considering whether using an aromatase inhibitor could be appropriate to address the symptoms. I would appreciate opinions or similar experiences.
