Testosterone Estrogen Balance

Meaning

Testosterone-Estrogen Balance refers to the optimal, physiological ratio and appropriate metabolic interconversion between testosterone and its primary metabolite, estradiol, in both male and female physiology. Maintaining this precise balance is critical, as both hormones exert distinct and synergistic effects on bone density, cardiovascular health, mood, and sexual function. Dysregulation, such as excessive aromatization of testosterone to estrogen, can lead to adverse clinical outcomes.
