Do i have a lot of estrogen in my body?

I am a high level male athlete. I am 6 1/2 feet tall. I have a lot of hair, everywhere people normally have hair like the legs, arm pits, ect. I weigh about 160 which means im skinny but not too skinny. I dont have have a problem gaining muscle. On my stomach i do have a 6 pack that you can see but I also seem to have almost really thick skin in that area ( i think its fat but when you pinch it in feels like skin) I am pretty athletic. I do have very long eyelashes and my fingernails break very easy. The skin that conects the fingernails breaks often.

Dont ask about my penis, its perfectly fine. you perverts, jk.

So do I have a lot or very little? how much

    All males have some estrogen in their bodies, just as all females have some testosterone in their bodies. Males have much more testosterone than estrogen; and females have much more estrogen than testosterone, but everybody has both. Both hormones are required for our bodies to function properly.

    Having long eyelashes is a function of genetics, not estrogen. Regarding your fingernails: try using a moisturizer for your hands (I use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing because my hands and feet dry out because I do a lot of swimming); and if your nails are breaking or splitting, eat some Jell-o (which has gelatin, which will help correct that problem).

    All things you have stated you have more testosterone than estrogen. Now believe it or not every male does have a certain amount of estrogen as well as females have a certain amount of testosterone. If you had to much estrogen you would be showing other traits to which only you know if you are or not. Take into account Sunny and Chers daughter who now has decide to become a man.

    That all goes back to when we are being developed. In the beginning we are both (female)the same it is around the 12 week or so the body is made female or male depending on which the creator has decided for us.

    If you have a lot of estrogen in you, you will look more like a girl. Doing only cardio can do this to a man. If you look like a man then you are gaining testosterone from like working out or what not.

    there are hormonal imbalances in the body just a there are chemical imbalances in the brain.

    i have chemical imbalances in my brain which i am able to balance by heavy exersize. so basically if i stop exersizing i go nuts. other people in my family try prescription pills with little or no sucess. my aunt smokes marijuana heavily and it seems to work ok for her. i turned my back on medication and rely on exersize to stabilize myself.

    how is your recovery time son?? i have read that estrogen can make you recover faster.

    you just have to work with what gods has given you.

    btw, how is your penis?

    What makes you think there is anything abnormal in your estrogen levels?

    If you are concerned about your hormone levels, see a Dr and have a blood test to determine what your levels are.
