Androgen-Estradiol Ratio Management

Meaning

Androgen-Estradiol Ratio Management is the clinical practice of maintaining a specific, favorable balance between circulating androgen levels, such as testosterone, and estradiol (E2). This delicate balance is physiologically critical for health in both sexes, influencing bone density, mood regulation, libido, and cardiovascular function. Effective management involves careful monitoring and adjustment of therapeutic agents to prevent the negative symptoms associated with either an excessively high or low ratio. This nuanced approach ensures the beneficial effects of both steroid classes are simultaneously optimized.
