community 22M High Estrogen after blood test
A 22-year-old male with high estrogen levels is considering finasteride for hair loss but is concerned about potential side effects due to his hormone levels and family history of diabetes. Users suggest consulting a doctor, possibly an endocrinologist, and considering lifestyle changes like diet and exercise to address visceral fat and insulin resistance before starting treatment.
community My Testosterone is less than 1/3rd In 7 Months since I took Finasteride!
A user experienced a significant drop in testosterone levels after taking finasteride, leading to side effects like low libido and muscle mass loss. Despite its effectiveness for hair, the user decided to stop finasteride due to its impact on hormones, preferring to be bald.
community Why are there no meaningful baseline blood tests for pyrilutamide (KX-826) like there are for finasteride?
Finasteride reduces DHT production, so blood tests can track hormonal changes. Pyrilutamide blocks androgen receptors without altering hormone levels, making blood tests less useful for detecting its effects.
community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
