the interplay of testosterone and estrogen with chronic triggerpoints/general muscle health is so interesting man my mind is spinning
#ive been poking at it more#estrogen promotes collagen synthesis/repair! collagen is the stuff in ligaments and tendons that makes them stretchy!#testosterone on the other hand promotes muscle growth#without estrogen everything really stiffens up. ive heard accounts from ppl whove been through menopause.#without testosterone the muscles are weaker and dont grow as robustly.#estrogen makes chronic triggerpoints easier to bear because at least youre still flexible#testosterone makes triggerpoints less likely to happen in the first place#and like im not even gonna touch on what this could mean for trans heathcare#or touching on the fact that FAT produces estrogen#like ngl who gives a fuck about them being sex hormones. the other shit they do is way more interesting???
