Men should also periodically check their blood levels for free testosterone and estrogen to make sure that DHEA is following a youthful c pathway. DHEA precautions for women Women should consider estrogen and testosterone testing when they take their DHEA blood test in order to evaluate DHEA’s effect on their blood levels of these hormones. Women who have been diagnosed with an estrogen-dependent cancer should consult their physicians before beginning the DHEA restoration process.
