what exactly is an estrogen rebound?

What causes it?

how do you prevent it from happening?

Thoughts please!

In short, your body has feedback loops and specialized cells that sense levels of different hormones and enzymes in the blood, when these get out of balance your body tries to correct it

estrogen rebound(for us) normally happens after using a compound letrozole (that reduces estrogen levels by 99%), after the drug leaves the body the feedback loop realizes that there is very little estrogen left so it starts producing a ton of estrogen to bring the body back to homeostasis(balance) and in the process causes a huge flux of estrogen called estrogen rebound

you won't have one from aromasin as long as you use normal dosages and don't overdue them

now lets say for example i get gyno and run letro during pct to rid of it....if i get estrogen rebound i will obviously know ( from the high bloat, acne, itchy nipps, etc...) so what do i do when it happens? how do i taper off?

and say i do nothing about it, will it eventually go back to normal?
