What Disease Is It Where Extra Estrogen Causes Obesity?
I’ve met 2 guys in my life who are very obese and say it has to do with too much estrogen. Never said what their condition was called. What is it called?
It causes obesity(and these guys are REALLY obese) and manboobs.
Pretty sure its not cirrhosis. They’ve had this their whole lives. Also sure its not thyroid problems, although I met a guy at college who was only a little overweight (not obese) who had thyroid problems. I was surprised. He says that with the right diet and exercise people with thyroid problems don’t have to be obese, although there was this one guy back in high school who as very obese with thyroid problems and died of a heart attack. The sick thing is that there was an operation that would’ve reduced his risk but his family couldn’t affoard it (a good example of our broken healthcare system).
As for Klinefelter’s. Looked that up. That’s an extra X chromosome. Suppose thats possible.
Two conditions in which men have abnormally high levels of estrogen that are commonly associated with breast enlargement are Klinefelter’s syndrome and cirrhosis of the liver.
Obesity is also associated with elevated estrogen levels and breast enlargement in men.
When a male has gynecomastia it can also contribute to them getting breast cancer.
Are you sure they said estrogen though, no offence. A thyroid condition could also cause them to have obesity.
