Peripubertal Testosterone, 17β-Estradiol and Progesterone Concentrations in Hair and Nails in Dobermann Dogs

17-alpha-estradiol may work for hair loss by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, similar to finasteride. It might lower testosterone in the scalp, reducing DHT conversion.

Dutasteride and finasteride are used for hair loss, affecting hormone levels like DHT and testosterone. Hormone balance is crucial, as changes can lead to side effects such as increased estradiol and potential hair loss.

A 30-year-old male using finasteride for hair loss has high testosterone and estrogen levels but no side effects. He is advised to monitor hormone levels, consider dietary changes, and use additional treatments like vitamin D3, minoxidil, and dutasteride for hair growth.

A user discusses their hormone blood test results before starting finasteride for hair loss, noting high DHT and estradiol levels. They tried topical finasteride for a few days but felt tired.

A user plans to undergo a temporary MtF transformation to regrow hair, using estrogen, RU58841, and Dutasteride, then revert with testosterone. Many users criticize the plan, suggesting alternatives like hair transplants, and emphasize that estrogen is not a reliable solution for hair regrowth.

The conversation is about someone planning to start finasteride or RU58841 for hair loss and wanting to know which hormones to test beforehand. They found a package for testing testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, and DHT, and are asking if these tests are enough.
