Excessive estrogen exposure leads prostate cancer risk

In developed countries all males are victims of excessive estrogen exposure. It is caused by petrochemical products, plastics, herbicides, pesticides, and estrogenic hormones targeting to help growth of animals.

New researches claim that estrogen excess probably causes the enlargement of the prostate gland in elderly men.

Excessive estrogen begins to accumulate in the prostate gland of elderly males at age 50. The level of accumulated estrogen is linked with the degree of prostate enlargement. The risk of BPH (benign prostaic hypertrophy) is high in males with increased estradiol (potent estrogen) levels and is accentuated in males with low androgen (testosterone) levels.

Conclusions regarding action of excessive estrogen exposure are going deeper.

A new study has found that exposure to low amounts of environmental estrogens during pregnancy, may affect the fetus prostate gland development and by consequence may assign a predisposition to prostate cancer later in life.
