Brief Answer:
Anti androgens.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have gone through your query.


Androgens are hormones that regulate the development of sex characteristics.

Testosteron is the male sex hormone.
Anti androgens are used to stop the effect of testosteron in specific circumstances(in prostate cancer)

The most common medication against testosterone are spironolactone,flutamide and cyproterone. Spironolactone pills may block the effects of testosterone and also reduce the levels in the blood.

Estrogen is the female sex hormone.It is also produced in men ,in small quantities.

Some medications known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) may also be used to block estrogen in men.Clomofene and Tamixifene are the most common SERMs drugs.

My advice is to consult your treating doctor about the most appropriate treatemebt for your condition.

Hope this is helpful
Regards
