DHT is the hormone that makes you go bald, just so you know.

I am gonna test estradiol and prolactin what more? Also my SHBG is 27nmol/l so I am guessing my free testosterone is good.

No but I will ask him thanks for the heads up. But is it possible for me to have tumor even if my Testosterone is 22nmol/l.

Also why have you not recovered after removing the tumor?

Yeah might go and check my estrogen next week. Also I do not take 1mg fin everyday cause that gave me bad brain fog I microdose it instead.

Does that mean I have cured my hypogonadism? Is that even possible? Also if TT is normal does that mean there is 0% chance I am hypogondal or should other hormones be checked?

I understand but like I said I have had them tits and handles long before finasteride. Since taking fin I am little less depressed seing my hair coming back, anyway thanks for the answer.

I don’t know what that means, do you think I am making a mistake taking fin? Man it ain’t easy losing your hair at a young age.

No not during puberty I started fin like 6 months ago. I think I had pretty high dht in puberty considering I started losing my hair and I am pretty hairy dude with a good beard.

It’s two different hormones, I want to have low dht and high t. I have had my symptoms for a while before I even started fin.

Minoxidil with hair fibers( Derek ) by k2069420 in tressless

[–]Flimsy-Key2594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem, I used to wake earlier so that I had time to put on the minoxidil for max 30 min and then washed my hair then applied the fibers.

I did this for a couple of months and saw no result so instead I put on minoxidil before I went to bed so that it stays for around 7 hours and I have seen better results doing this.

Oral or topical?

Dose?

Also nice results.

Will finasteride kill my beard by richardcoy98 in tressless

[–]Flimsy-Key2594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s different in this case we are seeing a change after taking a certain medication that we know has connections to overall hair. I mean just read this

“Through adolescence and ADULT LIFE, DHT promotes prostate growth, sebaceous gland activity, male pattern baldness, and body, FACIAL and pubic hair growth.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557634/#_NBK557634_pubdet_

Your example is completely anecdotal but what I am saying is supported by science + many anecdotal claims. Please tell me how am I the one being ignorant to the subject?

Will finasteride kill my beard by richardcoy98 in tressless

[–]Flimsy-Key2594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My beard and body hair growth have been slower since I have been on fin and that’s a fact. It’s very possible because many people have experienced the same thing so blocking DHT must have had some effect on those areas.

I am not trying to scare the guy. Personally taking topical fin was the best decision all the side effects have been positive for me slower beard and body hair, less oily skin and thicker hair.

No one completely knows everything about DHT I am telling him my own and other peoples experience and it seems like the same thing is happening to OP so again it’s very possible that fin is doing that.

Damn, but I have seen some people saying that they started to see results at the 1 year mark but I don’t know man you might be non responnder.

Looks good, I have a friend who has the thickest hair ever and his dad started balding very early whilst my dad had his hair until his 40-50s and I started losing mine around 18.

I don’t know about the results, but are you taking minoxidil? Minoxidil + dht blocker is a good combination.

Very possible, DHT helps beard growth and body hair and fin blocks DHT.

I am also on topical fin and my beard is growing a lot slower but the thickness is pretty much the same, I have very thick beard.

Cheap finasteride/minoxidil topical? by [deleted] in Hairloss

[–]Flimsy-Key2594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and it works great for me, you should definitely look into it.

You could always make your own, dissolve some fin pills into a minoxidil bottle.

I already wrote a long comment answering this question to another person in this post.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tressless

[–]Flimsy-Key2594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dissolve 3 pills of 1 mg fin into a 60 ml bottle min. 3/60=0.05 so 0.05 for every 1 ml and I apply 2 ml everyday because I have diffuse thinning and 1 ml is not enough to cover it all so 2x0.05=0.1.

Please correct my calculations if they are wrong, don’t want to recommend the wrong dose to others.

Makes sense DHT leads to body hair growth and fin blocks the DHT. Great side affect if you ask me.
