A member asked:

What could be the effects of a male using estrogen cream?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Little: Probably little to none because the amount absorbed is likely low. But if we assume he uses alot of it, effects could be feminizing such as breast growth. I've not seen this studied specifically.
