Does High Estrogen in Men Contribute to Hair Loss?

Can high estrogen levels in males contribute to hair loss (miniaturiztion/thinning)? I suffer from low libido, fatigue and a female hairloss pattern(dupa)… my estrogen/estradiol is at 45… my doc has put me arimidex…

Increased estrogen in men could be present in several conditions, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, alcoholism, liver disease, and estrogen-producing tumors. Excess estrogen can cause sexual dysfunction, breast tenderness or enlargement, and increased body fat in a female pattern.

Hair loss is typically not one of the signs of excess estrogen and on the contrary could be seen in estrogen deficiency, like in telogen effluvium in women after pregnancy. As a matter of fact, estrogen is considered a protective factor for hair. Bear in mind that increased estrogen may affect other hormonal systems, and the imbalance of the hormonal system can cause hair loss. The cause of diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) in men is not clearly understood.
