In men, oestrogen may be important for strong bones and maintaining a healthy weight. Men with prostate cancer are given medical castration treatment to decrease testosterone, because testosterone is required for prostate cancer growth. Because oestrogen is derived from testosterone, they also have very low oestrogen levels. We want to conduct a trial in these men to find out whether giving back oestrogen will prevent bone loss and weight gain, among other health benefits.

在男性中，雌激素可能对强壮骨骼和保持健康体重很重要。患有前列腺癌的男性接受药物去势治疗以减少睾丸激素，因为睾丸激素是前列腺癌生长所必需的。因为雌激素来自睾丸激素，他们也有非常低的雌激素水平。我们想在这些男性中进行一项试验，以了解补充雌激素是否会防止骨质流失和体重增加，以及其他健康益处。
