It's been a while since I've done biology, but if the boy was ingesting estrogen in a pill form, doesn't that also put additional strain on the liver?

- floatingatoll 6y agoTestosterone carries a significant risk of liver damage — even if it's injected. Estrogen doesn't, ingested or otherwise.
- Twixes 6y agoThat's interesting. Why the difference?
- floatingatoll 6y agoI'm not sure if science knows why yet. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3897047/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3897047/ may be a good starting point, but IANAYD etc.
