5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Is this insufficient reduction of DHT while being on fin for 5 years?
Finasteride helps with hair loss by lowering DHT levels in the scalp, which is more important than blood DHT levels. If finasteride is not effective, consulting a doctor or considering switching to dutasteride may be advisable.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community “Just minoxidil” users, how are you doing now?
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for significant hair regrowth, with many users experiencing limited results or side effects, leading them to add finasteride or dutasteride for better outcomes. Some users report initial improvements with minoxidil but eventually require additional treatments to maintain or enhance hair growth.
community Dutasteride shedding phase while in Minoxidil
The user experienced hair shedding with finasteride and found minoxidil helpful for regrowth but insufficient alone. They are considering dutasteride but are concerned about potential shedding similar to their experience with finasteride.
