Dear Doctor,
I read an article as follows:
I became curious as to effects of estrogen on males; both sexes seem to have varying amounts of estrogen and androgen--women have more estrogen, males have more androgen, but each has SOME of the other's primary sex hormone.
On what role estrogen may play in males' development of PD?
Can estrogen make worse in Parkinson's?
Kindly enlighten the subject and is helpful for Parkinson's
Thanks

It is unknown what effect estrogen has on the development of PD and especially unknown in males. Testosterone is converted in the body to estrogen so that is a factor that must be considered. Finally there are studies in women suggesting estrogen could be protective or have a symptomatic benefit in PD. Much needs to be researched on this topic._________________Michael S. Okun, M.D.

Mr Teo Kim Hoe, a graduate in Economics from the Nanyang University in 19xx was known to me through my daughter whom he married, now with 4 children all educated in England though he was Chinese educated and determined to write this medical book in English from general knowledge together with research from medical websites, believes that his self diagnosis and suffering is more accurate than analysts from medical practitioners.
