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?

8 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community Does anyone have any experience with Estradiol, Cyproterone Acetate, Spironolactone, Bicalutamide ?

4 upvotes 6 years ago

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.

community Everyone seems to be looking for an antiandrogen as an add on. But what about Estradiol & its derivatives ( excluding the low concentraion alfatradiool ) being used. Anyone has an experience with this ? Anything that won't cause feminization in the process ?

5 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses using estradiol and its derivatives for hair loss without causing feminization. Users mention alternatives like alfatradiol, topical 17b-Estradiol, and DIM (Diindolylmethane).

community Need supplemental products in addition to oral minoxidil and oral dutasteride

1 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has been using oral minoxidil and dutasteride for hair loss without success and is considering adding topical 17α-estradiol, Pyrilutamide, Clascoterone, or cetirizine. They have confirmed low serum DHT levels and are exploring additional treatments due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and prostaglandin D2.

community Are these a good on, what’s your opinion?

2 upvotes 1 year ago

Progesterone, hydrocortisone butyrate, and estrone base are discussed as treatments for hair loss. Topical progesterone and dutasteride are suggested to potentially reverse androgenic alopecia.
