A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
A user was prescribed Alpicort E, which contains EstradiolBenzoate, Prednisone, and Salicylic Acid, for hair loss and is seeking others' experiences due to concerns about potential side effects.
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).
The conversation discusses using estradiol mesotherapy to replicate hormone replacement therapy results while minimizing systemic exposure. It also covers the use of Spironolactone cream, which reportedly has no systemic side effects, and the potential risks of using bicalutamide and Spironolactone in men.
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.
The user has been taking 0.5 finasteride for 10 months and wants to repeat blood tests, including estradiol. However, their doctor is reluctant to test estradiol, arguing it's typically low in men, and the user is considering seeking a second opinion.
