What Causes Elevation In The Estrogen Level While On Tamoxifen?
Question: I am taking testosterone and hcg for replacement. I am also taking tamoxifen to block the aromatase. My estrogen levels continue to be high. Now I have high muscle enzymes. Can the sustained increase in estrogen cause high muscle enzymes?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be related.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Estrogen is a precursor of testosterone. Hence estogens can be high in your case. It is possibly not a cause for concern. The estrogen levels are possibly unrelated to the high muscle enzymes. Rapid muscle exercise and body building attempts can lead to elevated muscle enzymes.
Feel free to write back.
