5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hypothetically, if estradiol has been a "cure" for hair loss, could one apply estradiol topically and just take an estrogen blocker and/or testosterone to offset the systematic effects?
Topical estradiol may help with hair loss but can have systemic effects, like reduced testosterone production. Using estrogen blockers can have negative side effects, such as joint pain and reduced sex drive.
community Someone told me it is the increase in estradiol and estrogen from more free t that makes dht blockers work?
Finasteride and its effects on hair loss, with discussions on the role of estradiol and estrogen. Users debate whether increased estrogen from DHT blockers contributes to hair regrowth, with concerns about potential side effects like chemical castration.
community Did anastrozole make your hair worse even on a DHT blocker?
Combining anastrozole with finasteride/dutasteride may affect hair, as anastrozole prevents testosterone from converting to estrogen, potentially increasing DHT. Users suggest using the lowest effective dose of anastrozole.
community I think I’m on to something
The user shared their personal experience with hair loss, hormone imbalances, and treatments including testosterone boosters, natural estrogen blockers, and DHEA. They suggest that low-dose finasteride and natural hormone therapy could reduce hair loss with fewer side effects.
community What factors cause more regrowth for MTF people with hormone replacement therapy?
Hair regrowth in transfems is more effective due to hormonal changes, specifically estrogen, which keeps hair in growth phase longer. Treatments mentioned include anti-androgens, sex hormones, and DHT blockers like finasteride.
