The Claim
Being underweight in males causes excess estrogen levels.
The evidence does not support underweight status as a cause of excess estrogen in males. Medical literature consistently links higher body fat—not low body weight—to higher estradiol because adipose tissue increases aromatization. In men, being underweight is more often associated with lower estrogen levels or broader hormonal suppression, not estrogen excess.
