Finasteride and high testosterone levels
Hello fellow norwood bros.
I'm a long time lurker on these forums. Probably 8 years or so.
My hair loss has been thankfully rather slow. I'm a steady NW3 atm I would say.
Basically I've come to the point where I've given up on the "natural remedy" route and actually want to tackle my issue for real. I picked up my first pack of fin 1mg from the pharmacy earlier today.
Before I start the treatment I had one final concern I wanted to check with you guys.
In late august last year I went and did some blood work. Solid results except on one point, testosterone. It was high. By European standards: pretty much roid-level. By American, absolute maximum.
32 nmol/L or roughly 922 ng/dL.
My concern is as I start to surpress the 5AR-ii enzyme that will result in the testo going even higher from not converting into DHT. As a result to that the body might start to overproduce estrogen to counter that elevation.
I'm not an MD of any kind so that's why I wanted to discuss this concern with you guys before I jump on the fin.
Maybe there's someone in the same boat as me that had/has a successful run.
As of family history none other than my father has suffered from hair loss. He started receding in his early 60's. Grandparents, uncle etc. has had, or has a full head of hair their whole life. As do my brother.
I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis from three different dermatologists. This is most definitely linked to the hair loss. Hopefully this itch goes away as I start the treatment.
PS. Sorry if me dropping my testo-levels came of as a flex. Really not my intention at all. And no, I'm not on any juice.
Best regards and thanks in advance
