A 26-year-old man who had a hair transplant and used minoxidil with good results is now experiencing shedding and considering finasteride. He's concerned about high progesterone and mild erectile dysfunction before starting the treatment.
The user is concerned about high prolactin levels and low testosterone levels after stopping finasteride for three weeks. They are considering resuming finasteride but are worried it might further increase prolactin levels.
A 22-year-old with high estradiol levels is considering starting finasteride for hair loss. They have an upcoming endocrinologist appointment to discuss whether they should proceed with the treatment.
The conversation discusses using P5P (Vitamin B6) supplements to reduce elevated Prolactin levels and concerns about its potential effect on increasing DHT levels. The user is not currently using finasteride or any anti-androgens.
The user is applying topical finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and has noticed hair thickening but no regrowth after two months. They also report high SHBG and prolactin levels and a lack of morning erections, even on low doses of medication.
