The user received hormone test results showing normal estradiol and testosterone levels, low SHBG, and normal free androgen index. They are considering starting finasteride but are concerned due to being slightly overweight.

A user on Finasteride for 7-8 years reported unexpectedly high testosterone levels despite expecting lower levels due to age, with discussions on the impact of SHBG and suggestions to use boron to lower SHBG. Another user noted that Dutasteride significantly increased their testosterone and free testosterone levels.

Orient Bio is developing a PLGA formulated version of Cyclosporine A to stimulate hair growth without its immunosuppressant effects.

Finasteride has no effect on the user's estradiol levels, and body fat may influence aromatization. The user is on testosterone replacement therapy and uses everyday injections to manage high RBC count, with plans to measure DHT, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone levels.

Some users have experienced good hair regrowth with estradiol, cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, and bicalutamide, but these treatments may cause feminization and other side effects. It's advised to consult a doctor before using these treatments, as they can lower testosterone and have significant risks.

Finasteride treatment is being considered, and it's advised to track DHT, testosterone, estradiol, and SHBG levels to monitor hormonal changes. These tests will help understand the treatment's impact.
