Prolactin elevated
Loss of libido, erectile problems, nipple symptoms. Looks estrogenic and is not — the reason an aromatase inhibitor makes it worse here.

What works against it
1Substances used against it. Descriptive — not a recommendation to take them.
What you can do yourself
No compound involved — the part that comes down to dose, training and everyday habits. Often the larger lever, and always the cheaper one.
Measure before acting
It looks like high estradiol and gets treated as such — which makes it worse. The value is the only thing that separates them.
Time the draw
Morning, before training, not after sex. All of those raise prolactin temporarily and produce a number that means nothing.
Sleep and stress
Both raise prolactin with no compound involved at all. Worth ruling out before anything else.
How you notice it
Prolactin in a blood panel, drawn in the morning and not after training or sex — both raise it temporarily.
