Aromatization Management

Meaning

A clinical strategy focused on regulating the conversion of androgen hormones, such as testosterone, into estrogens, primarily estradiol, a process catalyzed by the aromatase enzyme. This management is critical in hormonal health, particularly for individuals undergoing testosterone replacement therapy or those with endogenous hormonal imbalances that result in elevated estrogen levels. The goal is to maintain an optimal androgen-to-estrogen ratio to prevent adverse effects like gynecomastia, fluid retention, or mood disturbances associated with estrogen excess. Effective management requires precise biochemical monitoring and targeted therapeutic intervention.
