      A user shared their hair regrowth progress using Dutasteride, topical Minoxidil, Spironolactone, and Estradiol Valerate injections as part of hormone replacement therapy for transitioning. They experienced significant hair improvement and personal satisfaction but caution against this approach for non-transitioning individuals due to irreversible changes.
