More Causes Of Small Testes In Men
Estrogen is one of the leading causes of small testes in human males.
Check that, it’s actually the number one cause, and nothing else even comes close!
Because this feminizing hormone has two lethal weapons at her disposal, so she can be a
real man killer if you allow her to run wild.
Her first weapon is a group of estrogen receptors that swim in the intracellular fluid of your leydig cells, those biological engines inside your testes that manufacture your testosterone…
And when your E levels climb too high, these receptors become saturated with estrogen, in an area where you Do Not want too see too much estrogen…
Because testosterone must reign supreme at all times in your testicular environment, if you want to keep your twins intact.
In a study titled: The Effect of Estradiol on Testicular Testosterone Biosynthesis…
Scientists took a group of rats and fed them estrogen capsules. They then compared the rodents’ testosterone levels and testicle weight to measurements taken before estrogen administration.
The scientists noted that the estrogen treatment caused a rapid decline in plasma testosterone levels….and these plasma steroid changes lead to decreased testicular weight in the rats.
According to the researchers the shrinkage was the worst in animals who had smaller sized testicles to begin with, so if your testicles are already undersized, you need to make sure you take this situation seriously.
But this isn’t the only problem with estrogen..
Because she has another weapon she uses to attack your masculinity, and this one goes directly after your sperm.
As a matter of fact, one particular estrogen faction (Estradiol - E2) disrupts spermatogenesis so much that it can cause outright infertility in a man.
If you’re looking to pin the blame on someone, E2 just may be your girl.
But it’s important to note that estrogen only operates in this manner if you allow your levels to climb too high…
Because when she’s dialed into the zone, she can actually improve your testicular situation because estrogen plays an essential role in sperm production.
As a matter of fact, you can’t make sperm without it.
So the goal here isn’t to eliminate estrogen entirely, it’s to keep it in the optimal zone so your spermatogenesis cycle can operate normally.
Unfortunately, most men with small testis don’t fit this profile.
Estrogen is the dominant hormone in their testicular environment, so sperm production, testosterone levels and testicle size all go down.
There’s no doubt that estrogen has spearheaded the decline in average testis size and weight that humans males have experienced over the last 50 years.
Substance problems, legal or otherwise - and this includes steroids, booze, chemicals and testosterone replacement, can all play a part in this.
And many men add to the problem by failing to consume foods that support testicle function and by eating too may foods that cause direct testicular shrinkage.
These are the biggest causes of small testes in men, but I can assure you, there are many more.
I teach you how to deal with this problem inside my e-course.
