This is fascinating.
Can you explain your 2 possible methods regarding downregulation a bit more?
Whats the idea in why increasing dht would potentially downregulate?
And why is it that estrogen can down regulate?
That’s strange. Most with reflex hyperandrogenicity don’t have the typical finasteride side effects. This is so bc the body has reacted in the reverse manner: IE extra sensitive to DHT, therefore there wouldn’t be sides as DHT would be operating as per usual (or better in fact)
Thanks. Sure sounds like playing russian roulette. Any other way to either downregulate receptors or if sticking with estrogen- take in a way that won’t be as risky and reckless?
Yes unfortunately this is possible but very rare. It won’t show up in bloodwork though. The consensus is that it is a androgen receptor issue and not hormonal. Do you have increased forhead/scalp oiliness as well?
