Just wondering what the experience is like for cis men who have experienced estrogen dominance…
I’ve read that there are accounts of side effects in men who take estrogen for prostate cancer and who experience depression.
There are also the famous cases of Alan Turing and David Reimer. Was hoping for more first hand accounts of what the cis male experience is like on estrogen.
Just wondering if anyone has experiences they’re willing to share. Thanks!
It makes it more likely that you’d get breast cancer - since you would start to grow breasts - but otherwise, no.
Men can technically get breast cancer even if they haven’t taken estrogen. Estrogen causes more breast tissue to form, but men have a small amount of breast tissue to begin with. It’s statistically unlikely to happen, since there’s less tissue. But it does happen occasionally. It’s all just a numbers game; More breast tissue means more potential cancer cells.
