Can low estrogen in men cause anxiety?
Posted on | January 9, 2012 |
Im 19 and most of the time i am full of confidence in myself i naturally walk with a swagger and people want to know me, but the one thing that makes me feel very strange and uncomfortable not myself is if i take some kind of estrogen lowering substance, i started to eat 1 and 2 bags of broccoli everyday its full of indole 3 carbinol it lowers estrogen after 3 days im very anxious and irritable i stopped it and i was again myself, same thing if i take allot of fish oil, olive oil, zinc any type of aromatase and estrogen lowering substance and food, if i need to wait in line at a supermarket i get very impatient and feel allot of pressure in myself i am always very relaxed and myself sometimes the shop lady will say sorry im taking so long i don’t mean to look like an impatient AH but when my estrogen is low it is difficult for me to be myself, the body fat on my body is very low and that means not very much estrogen because fat makes aromatase, my libido goes to zero normally it is very high believe me, many times i have read anti estrogen like arimidex cause anxiety if too much is taken maybe even the wrong person, i don’t want a guess please i need to know it for sure, thanks.

I doubt it.
I think your problem might be something else. Maybe you should take an interest in your history, your childhood years. That might explain a lot. Also try behavioral changes, this means you should put yourself in those situations and learn how to control it.
Acting should help, when you master it, you’ll find in time your anxiety levels would drop. But i really do not know if it’s because estrogen levels. You might find it beneficial to increase your estrogen levels, it could really be because of that, I just don’t know.

High estrogen in men can inhibit erections and libido and if this happens it will definitely cause anxiety.

The amount of estrogen doesn’t cause anxiety.
Eating two bags of broccoli would cause me to have an anxiety and puke as well.
Just imagining I have to eat that much of it.
If you are having problems see a doctor.
Nobody can diagnose your problems here. It is simply not possible for certain conditions.
