5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Pure Curiosity: Effects of increased testosterone blood levels because of Finasteride?
Finasteride may have positive effects by keeping testosterone levels higher, potentially maintaining youthfulness and physical performance as one ages. It could also help with conditions related to aging like andropause and sarcopenia without increasing estradiol levels.
community Effect of finasteride if you already have low testosterone?
A 24-year-old with a history of hair loss, low testosterone, and other health issues is seeking advice on treatments. They are considering options like topical and oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, PRP therapy, tretinoin, and microneedling.
community Hypothetically, if estradiol has been a "cure" for hair loss, could one apply estradiol topically and just take an estrogen blocker and/or testosterone to offset the systematic effects?
Topical estradiol may help with hair loss but can have systemic effects, like reduced testosterone production. Using estrogen blockers can have negative side effects, such as joint pain and reduced sex drive.
community Would starting dutastride and some other activities that probably raise testosterone increase the chance of side effects?
Combining finasteride and dutasteride with activities that raise testosterone may increase the risk of side effects like gynecomastia, depending on genetic predisposition and hormone levels. It's advised to check hormone levels to assess the risk.
community Dutasteride Hormone Roller Coaster - Testosterone down, then up, then level, then estrogen up
Dutasteride effectively stops hair loss but can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction, muscle mass changes, and testicle shrinkage. Adjusting the dosage may help manage these side effects, but long-term health effects remain a concern.
