community Testosterone increased after six months of finasteride

12 upvotes 3 months ago

A 23-year-old male experienced an increase in testosterone levels after taking 1 mg of finasteride daily for six months, with no significant side effects reported. Users discussed how finasteride inhibits DHT, leading to increased testosterone, and debated the psychological versus physiological effects of the medication.

community Can testosterone alone cause hair loss even after nuking DHT?

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 7 months ago

Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.

community Testosterone and Estradiol levels on 1 mg/day dutasteride

43 upvotes 11 months ago

A 30-year-old man experienced significant hair regrowth and improved libido after using finasteride and dutasteride for androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse effects. He plans to reduce dutasteride dosage when trying to conceive and has been using topical minoxidil since 2015.

community Testosterone's Role In Androgenetic Alopecia

1 year ago

DHT is essential for androgenetic alopecia, not testosterone. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride reduce DHT, halting hair loss.

community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

52 upvotes 2 years ago

Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
