A member asked:
My doctor told me that too much estrogen inside my body can turn into testosterone. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I think they may have meant the opposite. There is an enzyme that can convert testosterone into estrogen, and this is normal occurrence in men (it is where they get estrogen in their systems naturally), but I am not aware that the reverse process is possible.
