The post and conversation are about the user's high testosterone levels and their worsening hair loss despite trying various treatments. They are considering using low doses of anti-androgens to lower their testosterone levels as a potential solution.
The user tried Minoxidil without success, and Finasteride worked but caused sexual side effects even at a very lowdose. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss as they cannot tolerate anti-androgens and are also in therapy for mental health.
The user experienced side effects from daily finasteride and reduced the dosage to 0.25mg twice a week while continuing minoxidil. They are considering topical anti-androgens but are concerned about application difficulties and potential side effects.
Low-dose daily aspirin reduces the effectiveness of topical minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia. Aspirin inhibits sulfotransferase enzymes, which are necessary for minoxidil to work.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Spironolactone. One user shares success with Finasteride, Minoxidil, and low-dose Cyproterone Acetate, but warns against long-term use of oral anti-androgens.
