A Key to Hormonal Balance and Vitality in Korea

Estrogen isn’t just a “female hormone”—men need it too, in the right amounts. When estrogen levels are too high or too low, it can disrupt testosterone function, affect mood, impair sexual performance, and even contribute to weight gain or fatigue. At advanced men’s health clinics like Gangnam J Urology Clinic in Seoul, Estrogen Level Evaluation (에스트로겐 수치 검사 – eseuteurogen suchi geomsa) is offered as part of a comprehensive hormone analysis. If you’re a man seeking clarity about your hormonal health, this simple blood test may be the missing link to feeling like yourself again.

Why Does Estrogen Matter for Men?

Estrogen in men is primarily produced when testosterone is converted into estrogen via an enzyme called aromatase. While men produce much less estrogen than women, balanced estrogen levels are essential for:

• Sexual function and libido
• Mood regulation and emotional stability
• Fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity
• Cognitive performance and brain health
• Bone density and cardiovascular protection

Too much or too little estrogen can negatively impact overall health, even if your testosterone levels appear normal.

Symptoms of Estrogen Imbalance in Men

High Estrogen (Estrogen Dominance):

• Decreased libido and erectile difficulties
• Weight gain, especially around chest or hips
• Fatigue and low energy
• Gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue)
• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
• Low sperm count and fertility issues

Low Estrogen (Estrogen Deficiency):

• Joint pain or stiffness
• Increased risk of osteoporosis
• Loss of sexual sensitivity
• Mood disturbances or lack of motivation
• Poor sleep and overall discomfort

Because these symptoms often overlap with low testosterone, estradiol testing is essential in any male hormone evaluation.

How Estrogen Testing Works at Gangnam J Urology Clinic

 1. Private Consultation

• A discreet discussion of your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
• English-speaking staff available for seamless communication

 2. Blood Test – Estradiol (E2)

• The most active form of estrogen in men
• Typically ordered alongside testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, and prolactin
• Collected via a simple blood draw, ideally in the morning
• Results are ready in 1–3 working days

 3. Expert Analysis

• Hormone levels are reviewed as part of an overall hormonal ecosystem, not in isolation
• You’ll receive a tailored plan for restoring balance, based on age and personal health profile

What Happens If Your Estrogen Is Too High or Too Low?

If Estrogen Is Too High:

• Doctors may recommend aromatase inhibitors (e.g., Anastrozole) to reduce testosterone-to-estrogen conversion
• Adjustments in Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be necessary
• Lifestyle modifications (fat loss, limiting alcohol) are often encouraged

If Estrogen Is Too Low:

• TRT dosage may need to be modified to increase aromatization slightly
• Bone density support through vitamin D and calcium may be advised
• Rarely, estrogen supplementation is used directly in men—only under expert supervision

All therapies are closely monitored through follow-up bloodwork and clinical response.
