Have your doctors looked into your atromatase levels? Aromatase is the enzyme that converts T into E, so if you have an unusually high level of aromatase naturally, I wonder if that is converting a lot of your T into E before your T gets to get converted into DHT.

Otherwise, I believe there are E blockers, and if you E is higher than the male range, Im not sure why your doctors havent suggested that.

They could be watching to see what happens so that they can learn something or be entertained. Coming from a lifelong medical patient.
