Don’t Lower Your Estrogen Too Much!
When reviewing the studies about the multiple pathological effects of excess estrogen in aging men, it may be tempting to take high doses of an aromatase-inhibiting drug (like Arimidex®) to slash estrogen levels as low as possible. Don’t do this, as men need estrogen to maintain bone density, cognitive function, and even to maintain the inner lining of the arterial wall (the endothelium).

Those two should help described what to ask your doctor, one other is a Mammogram, yup, if we're gonna grow them we need to take precautions too!. I had one a year ago, it was awkward but not uncommon.
