instruction: hi doctor I am 64 and in the postmenopausal stage I had a hormone blood test and my testosterone was very low less than my vitamin was low and my estradiol was 73 I started to take supplements all natural like dea vitamin high and smilax I just got tested again and my vitamin is fine but my estradiol is even higher and my testosterone is 14 now two days before I took the test while on smilax which I know has its effect on testosterone level I am mostly worried about estradiol and ovarian cancer
output: hi your estrogen level should be low at the postmenopausal stage but your estrogen level is similar to the level of normal reproductive years estrogen helps bone but carries the risk of breast cancer and uterine endometrial cancer estrogen therapy in the postmenopausal period also carries the potential risk of ovarian cancer dea dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate can help to increase energy and sex drive libido but not definite dea is converted in the body to testosterone
