question from a user
Do you prescribe TRT to treat low estradiol? My total testosterone is over 500 ng/dL but my estradiol is at 7.7 pg/mL and I have very low libido. Do you think TRT would an effective treatment?
AlphaMD's Answer
Raising your testosterone will raise your estradiol, so TRT would be an option. You may also benefit from hCG monotherapy. HCG aromatizes at a higher rate than TRT, so we know it will raise your estradiol along your testosterone.
