The user tried Minoxidil without success, and Finasteride worked but caused sexual side effects even at a very low dose. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss as they cannot tolerate anti-androgens and are also in therapy for mental health.
community 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.
