community 8 week - sharing Finasteride blood test update
A 32-year-old male started taking 0.5mg of finasteride daily for hair thinning and, after 8 weeks, experienced a 70% reduction in DHT and an increase in estradiol; he is currently in the shedding phase of treatment and questioning if the dosage is correct based on his DHT levels. He began with a lower dose due to already low normal testosterone and DHT levels.

community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors
Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
community From the research study: "Dihydrotestosterone and the concept of 5a-reductase inhibition in human benign prostatic hyperplasia" - G. Bartsch, R.S. Rittmaster, H. Klocker (2002) in the "World Journal of Urology".
Dutasteride is a stronger 5AR inhibitor than finasteride and can significantly lower DHT levels. Reduced doses of dutasteride may lower side effects.
