Estrogen Rebound After AI Use

Definition

Estrogen rebound is a rapid rise in estradiol following abrupt discontinuation of an aromatase inhibitor (AI). During AI use, aromatase is suppressed and estradiol is low. When the AI is stopped, aromatase activity rapidly normalizes while testosterone levels may temporarily be at their highest point, resulting in a sudden surge in aromatization and estradiol that can overshoot baseline.
