How Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce hair loss by reducing the amount of DHT in scalp areas, as well as discussing factors such as sensitivity to DHT, 5α-reductase expression in different parts of the hair follicle, and scalp tension.
community 20MTF Results on the crown from 1 year on estrogen injections
Estrogen injections significantly improved hair growth, particularly on the crown, after stopping finasteride. Monotherapy with estrogen led to hairline improvement, but also caused sterility and potential feminization effects.
community Dutasteride likely reduces Bone Mineral Density
Dutasteride may reduce bone mineral density, but there's no increased risk of osteoporosis or fractures compared to finasteride. Users suggest resistance training to counter potential bone effects.
community My friend is so terrified of balding, he started microdosing estrogen…
A person is microdosing estrogen for hair loss after finasteride and dutasteride failed, risking feminizing effects. Alternatives like minoxidil, RU58841, or hair transplants are suggested.
community Fin raised my estrogen but also testosterone?
A user experienced initial side effects from finasteride, including erectile dysfunction and emotional changes, but later noticed increased muscle mass and assertiveness. Hormonal tests showed elevated estrogen and prolactin levels, which slightly decreased over time; the user plans lifestyle changes to see if they help.
