Estrogen injections significantly improved hair growth, particularly on the crown, after stopping finasteride. Monotherapy with estrogen led to hairline improvement, but also caused sterility and potential feminization effects.
community High estrogen on finasteride, thoughts?
A 29-year-old male has been using finasteride for hair regrowth but is experiencing side effects like low libido and emotional changes, possibly due to high estrogen levels. Suggestions include weight loss, consulting an endocrinologist, switching to topical treatments, or trying dutasteride.
community Does having low estrogen make one a better candidate for finasteride?
Low estrogen levels may reduce the risk of side effects from finasteride, such as gynecomastia. Some users plan to start with microneedling and minoxidil before trying finasteride, while others have experienced temporary side effects from topical finasteride but continued use without persistent issues.
community How insane would it be to take estrogen until all your hair grows back, then getting off of it and taking fin or dut to maintain
Using estrogen for hair regrowth is considered ineffective and risky, with potential side effects like breast growth and hormonal changes. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are suggested, but estrogen is not recommended unless transitioning.

2 / 5 results- Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a topical hormone sold without prescription in German pharmacies, licensed there for mild androgenetic alopecia, and not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where hair density and thickness stayed nearly unchanged over 6 months while minoxidil improved them (the trial had no placebo group); no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
