community Will taking hair loss orals affect trt?

5 upvotes 1 week ago

Taking finasteride or dutasteride with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can increase testosterone levels by blocking its conversion to DHT, potentially raising estrogen levels. Users suggest monitoring for high estrogen symptoms and possibly using an aromatase inhibitor like anastrozole if needed.

33 upvotes 1 week ago

learn L-cysteine

Can taking L-cysteine orally really strengthen hair from the inside? L-cysteine may help strengthen hair if there's a deficiency, but results vary.

learn Folic acid

Is there a difference between taking folic acid supplements and using folic acid in topical hair products? Oral folic acid uses the body's normal absorption route and can correct a measured deficiency, but no published trial shows it treats hair loss; topical folic acid has no human evidence for hair growth and struggles to cross the skin barrier at all.

learn Selenium

What are the risks of taking too much Selenium, and how can you get the right amount safely? Excess selenium can cause toxicity; aim for recommended dietary amounts through food sources.

learn Dutasteride

Dutasteride: What if I just want to grow back some hair without taking pills every day? There is no approved topical dutasteride; it exists only as pharmacy-compounded preparations and small studies, so its effectiveness and long-term safety are not established.
