Why men can produce estrogen on their body?

I needed helped because I'm a fully-fledged man yet I have a guitar-shaped hip like a woman and my butt is unusually bigger. If I wanted to get a pre-scribed testosterone where should I get it?

BTW, I used to be overweight.

Thanks

Update:

I felt manly and I do love sex and watching porn thank you. It's just my body shaped makes me shame.

Update 2:

I am 23, thank you

Update 3:

I dont have that women-like nipple.

    Both genders produce both testosterone and estrogen. Men more testosterone, Women more estrogen. You should make an appoinment with your primary care provider who will probably run a routine blood test and then, if necessary, will prescribe you testosterone.

    Good luck!

    I don't think that's a hormonal problem. Unless you have very little hair on your body and a high-pitche/hoarse voice and maybe have some milk in your breast it's something else.

    Because you use to be overweight, your shape probably comes from 2 things: 1) you have very little muscle mass, because you didn't exercise much while you had ana excess weight 2) Your skin has stretched from you being larger and the extra skin is now resting at your hips, giving the impression that you have a guitar shape.

    Is it possible that you lost that weight in a relatively short amount of time (less than 6 months)? If so, that's the problem.

    I recommand you consult your doctor for advice on getting back into shape and stimulate the resorbtion of the skin. Your doctor could also test you to see the real problem (maybe you do need a little extra testosterone).

    Heading to the gym and being followed by a professional will do you a lot more good than hooking up on stims (testosterone). If you work on getting more muscle mass, you'll produce more testosterone. It will reshape your body and make it look more like it should. It will also stimulate the skin into resorbing and tighten around your abdomen and thighs and melt off your hips.

    The answer is that as embryos men and women have similar tissues and body parts. If anything the embryo follows a 'female template'. That is why nipples are present in both sexes. It is the effect of the genes, the Y chromosome and the hormone testosterone that brings about the changes and masculinises the embryo. Testosterone promotes the growth of the penis and testicles. Because nipples are there before this process begins the nipples stay!

    Estrogen is not being produced more, it's your testosterone levels decreasing, which is natural for all aging men. If your body was producing estrogen, you would develop more secondary sexual characteristics of a woman than just your hips, if you know what I mean.

    Many drug companies and clinics offer testosterone therapy, and it's not terribly difficult to get, just costly. It helps to maintain muscle sctructure, increases sex drive, and slows the visable effects of aging. You should be able to ask your family physician about it, find out if it's a healthy option for your particular body, and find out a location neaby where you can get some.

    by prescription only.men and women produce estrogen and testosterone IN their bodies,not ON their bodies. you need lab work to decide if you have too much of either hormone. your hips and butt may be genetic or a result of a poor diet.you need to be evaluated by a doctor and going to any on line idiot who will illegally give it to you could be a very costly to your health mistake. see a physician,voice your concerns and have blood tests taken.men with too little testosterone are always treated by physicians without a problem because they need testosterone for their bodily functions the same way women with low estrogen levels causes problems. see a doctor.dont play doctor with your life.not a good gamble and probably has nothing to do with your body shape.

    There is such a thing as estrogen dominance that can occur in men. Estrogen is just part of a mix of hormones that aid the systems in your body. The hip/butt issue may just be remaining fat and or skin from when you used to be overweight. I would say the best place to start would be your family doctor. Tell them you would like to have your hormone levels checked, and go from there. If your levels are out of whack, they may suggest hormone therapy or another treatment to help you out.

    Nah just deal with it bubble but.

    Taking testosterone will only lead to side effects you dont need, so you look like a women? I tend to act like one, its weird but I do every once in a while, I guess its what comes with having a rectangle head.

    just go into your gen. pract....they can test your hormone levels. we all have 2 hormones...girls and guys a like both have estrogen and testosterone in their bodies. when you produce more than the other is how it defines you as male/female.
