learn Estradiol

an estrogen promoting hair regrowth more commonly used in women

Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair follicle health.
Is applying Estradiol directly to the scalp effective for hormone-related hair thinning? Applying Estradiol directly to the scalp may help with hormone-related hair thinning.
How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.

learn Alfatradiol

a synthetic estrogen used topically as an anti-androgen

Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a prescription topical hormone, licensed for androgenetic alopecia in Germany but not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where it produced stabilisation rather than regrowth and was outperformed by minoxidil; no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.

learn Centella

Sensitive to hormones? A centella scalp mask may help ease hidden inflamm Centella asiatica has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects in animal and cell studies, but no published research has tested a centella scalp mask on the human scalp, in hormonal contexts or otherwise, and no community reports were found of one being used this way.

research Effect of the gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue, goserelin, and oestradiol replacement on sebum excretion rates and hair size in mildly hirsute women

4 citations , January 1991 in “Journal of dermatological treatment”

This study found that GnRH-A treatment significantly reduced hirsuties scores in women with mild idiopathic hirsuties but did not affect hair growth rate or diameter.

research Differential Suppression of Testosterone and Estradiol in Hirsute Women With the Superactive Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Leuprolide*

49 citations , October 1988 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism”

This study found that low doses of leuprolide effectively suppressed serum estradiol and LH response, while higher doses were needed to suppress testosterone and reduce hair growth in hirsute women.

research Determination of estrone and 17β-estradiol in human hair by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

64 citations , January 2000 in “The Analyst”

This study describes an efficient gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for detecting estrone and 17 beta-estradiol concentrations in hair, finding differing levels in male and female samples.

research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential

26 citations , February 2009 in “Drug Development Research”

This article reviews the potential neuroprotective effects of 17α‐estradiol in neurodegenerative diseases and highlights its possibly lower toxicity compared to more feminizing hormones, but it reports no new clinical findings.

community M-28, did a few hormone blood tests since I want a baseline before starting Fin. DhT high. But also Estradiol? Why?

4 upvotes 5 years ago

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.

community Estradiol mesotherapy / idea feedback

5 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community Going on what I’ve read fixing e2 (estradiol) levels should cure PFS (post finasteride syndrome)?

4 upvotes 4 years ago

Balancing estradiol (e2) levels may alleviate post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) symptoms. Hormone tests, including testosterone and e2, are recommended for those experiencing PFS.

community Hormone tests to decide on oral fin

4 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses starting low-dose oral finasteride for hair loss, considering hormone levels and potential side effects like gynecomastia. Suggestions include using DIM for estradiol, vitamin B6 for prolactin, and lifestyle changes to optimize hormone profiles before starting treatment.

community Estradiol (E2), Testosterone and DHT levels after 1 month on Dutasteride

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
