Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Estradiol valerate use can lead to these effects especially at such a dose.

Estradiol valerate is used mainly for menopausal symptoms in females and for prostate cancer in males. Kindly elaborate what was the indication for use in your case, if appropriate.

I started taking it to reduce sexual urges and my testosterone drastically as I hate sexual arousal.

Brief Answer:
Explained

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

I would advise against the use for this purpose as it could be counterproductive especially with the side effects profile.

You should consult an endocrinologist to advise hormone levels including testosterone levels to see for an unreasonable rise. Treatment / management can then be decided accordingly.
