community Will taking hair loss orals affect trt?
Taking finasteride or dutasteride with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can increase testosterone levels by blocking its conversion to DHT, potentially raising estrogen levels. Users suggest monitoring for high estrogen symptoms and possibly using an aromatase inhibitor like anastrozole if needed.
