Can Estrogen Supplements Be Mistaken For Naturally Higher Estrogen Levels?

I am a male. If I take estrogen supplements or feminization supplements for larger breasts, feminine figure etc etc...can these supplements(over the counter type such as bust fuel) detectable in a blood test or urinalysis? Or can it be mistaken for just natually higher estrogen levels?

Hi.
I am glad we connected.

That is a good question. It is possible for estrogen to be excreted in the urine or be tested in the blood.

It is also possible for this to be due to a disease in men as well. However, it would not be a good idea to take any supplements without getting a check up.

I hope this helps. All the best.
