        Low estradiol in men is generally treated with testosterone replacement though. Since testosterone is processed into estradiol in the body, the effects of the low estradiol listed above are pretty much the same as low testosterone. In most (there are edge cases and iatrogenic causes of course) men the lower levels of estradiol are d/t low testosterone levels.
