I doubt anything significant would happen. The effects of the hormones would likely cancel each other out, especially as both hormones are already present in the male body. However, sometimes large amounts of hormones are converted by the male body into only testosterone or only estrogen. For example, if a male bodybuilder takes anabolic steroids (which are basically testosterone and other muscle-building hormones), he can start to have body feminisation, like development of breast tissue, shrinking of the penis and testicles, loss of muscle mass, etc.
Another answer:
It would likely cause their own body to stop making hormones due to the feedback loop to the brain (hypothalamus-pituitary axis), and likely feminize them while maintaining some masculine features. Excess testosterone gets converted to estrogen in the body due to the aromatase enzyme.
By the way, the ovaries in the female body don't exactly produce estrogen, but produce DHEA and aromatase enzyme. Those become estrogen in the blood.

Do you need to take estrogen suppression if you are taking testosterone?
No, you really don't need estrogen blockers if you are taking testosterone as part of replacement therapy or a sex-reassignment program. That said, taking estrogen blockers may help decrease feminization and make the testosterone replacement more effective in the case of sex-reassignment. However, men who take testosterone and/or anabolic steroids for performance enhancement reasons would generally block the aromatase enzyme to prevent testosterone from being converted to estrogen. Excessive amounts of testosterone causes breast growth since the body converts extra testosterone to estrogen. As always, you should never take any sort of prescription medication that is not prescribed to you, and nothing said here should be taken as medical advice.

What drug alters testosterone levels?
A number of drugs alter testosterone levels, including some that are recreational or over the counter. Here are some:Alcohol - May increase estrogen levels and indirectly lower testosterone.Cimetidine (Tagamet) - This is a heartburn medication. It shuts down certain enzymes, including the enzyme needed for removing estrogen from the body. As such, estrogen levels may increase, and testosterone levels may decrease.Dutasteride (Avodart) and Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia)- These are DHT blockers which are used to treat prostate disease and hair loss in males. DHT is a stronger version of testosterone. Men taking either can possibly experience some erectile difficulty or diminished libido.Spironolactone - It is an older hypertension medication and diuretic. It is also taken by male-to-female transsexuals to block testosterone and other androgens.Testosterone - If you don't have enough, then taking testosterone would increase it. However, if you take more than necessary, it will shut down your body's ability to create its own. In addition, excessive testosterone gets converted to estrogen.

Does stanazol raise estrogen levels?
You're talking about Winstrol (stanozolol) right? It's mainly used for muscle hardening and fat-burning, it's not capable of converting into estrogen, so no, it doesn't. You also don't have to worry about gynecomastia with it. If you stack with testosterone though, you'll need an anti-estrogen such as Clomid or Nolvadex. Make sure you know what you're doing before you take that crap though.
Will taking testosterone help females lose weight?
Estrogen is a hormone which is responsible for sex, reproduction, metabolism functions in female's body. When entering menopause, estrogen level is low in ovaries so in order to make estrogen, the fat cells have to store more fat. This leads to weight gain. Normally it is seen that estrogen level is very high in the people who are underweight and too low who are overweight. So, it can be said that estrogen contributes in weight gaining or weight losing.
Should you take estrogen blocker if I'm taking DHEA and Tribulus?
With Tribulus Terrestris an estrogen blocker is not necessary. With DHEA, it would be highly recommended. One prescription drug that will serve as an estrogen blocker is Propecia. Propecia is used to prevent and reverse hair loss in men and is quite effective. It is therefore a prescription which is easier to acquire (what doctor would turn down a male patient wanting to ensure that he keeps his hair) and is effective for both purposes (keeping hair and blocking additional testosterone from aromatizing into estrogen and related compounds). But then, I'm not an expert, just a guy who works out and tries to keep up with the growing body of knowledge out there.
