Does dht actually lower e2?

Weasel · Feb 16, 2016

I've read time and time again that DHT is a natural AI.(mostly bro science) Does DHT actually lower serum levels of e2? Or just hide the side effects of elevated e2?

The only actually study I could find stated just the opposite, that dht could actual stimulate aromatase.

I didn't experience that, I was doing something else (unintentionally) driving my E2 way up, I suspect, at the same time I'm using Test Cream on my Scrotum specifically to treat my low DHT condition. I've nearly tripled my DHT value to just over lab range while my E2 soared to 50s and 60s. What I was doing that I thought was good that may account for the soaring E2 was I was applying my DHEA/Preg cream to my nuts. Dr Saya and I think that that was the culprit with my E. I was doing that on my own, not on his advice, and I've since stopped doing that. I need to retest my E/DHT/DHEA-S values in a few weeks.

How long a period of time passed before you confirmed the rise in E2? You applied the DHEA/Preg for...?

I sensed my E2 was up, night sweats, stiff nips, irritable (more than usual!), I had been doing that cream on my nuts for more than 30 days.

This study says DHT stimulates aromatase. Which in turn should raise e2 in my mind at least.

I was applying cream to my balls and did not notice any increase in E, slight tingling sensation upon application, nothin else.

I was reading in a forum on the site T Nation that there was a forum where guys are injecting directly into their ball sac.....................hmmm...............I wonder if it was serious

Knowing those guys over there, they were making fun of some new guy asking dumb questions.

good ole TNation...where a .25mg Anastrozole EOD is REQUIRED. That forum contributed to me tanking my E when I didn't know any better. That "KSMan" shouldn't have any followers. AT ALL.

His advice is about gospel over there. He seems to mean well but I'm just learning that his advice was probably not the best to be following, Like tanking e2.
