There’s actually two possible uses for estrogen. One is to replace ADT the other as an adjunct to ADT.

Adding estrogen in a small dose increases the sex drive, which is almost eliminated by ADT. Usually, your body has some estrogen, but it’s normally hard to find if you’re on ADT. This exact issue was discussed in a recent prostate cancer bi monthly meeting where a GU oncologist answers questions for the first hour and discussed the use of some estrogen for that purpose.

Did anyone mention what dose level of Estradiol are working as an adjunct to ADT to bring estrogen back to a normal level for males? It sounds like it’s not widely used or tested but wondering what may be working.

Thanks,
