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.

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.
