A user experienced increased estradiol, nipple tenderness, and ED after taking finasteride. They are considering dose reduction to mitigate these effects.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
A 26-year-old male experienced hair regrowth using finasteride, minoxidil foam, and micro-needling over 2-3 months, with significant improvement in the crown, sides, and temples, but less in the hairline. He noted side effects like fluid retention in the ankles and weight gain but no change in libido.
The conversation discusses using crushed finasteride tablets mixed with topical minoxidil for hair loss treatment. Users share their experiences and opinions on the effectiveness and proper concentration of this method.
