Finasteride and Estrogen

[Z-Man]

Ok, I'm coming to the conclusion that everybody that has good results from finasteride reacts to it the same way, in the sense that it blocks the formation of DHT. Where variances occur is in the way our bodies convert the excess T into estrogen or estradiol (at least in regard to sexual sides).

Feel free to disagree if you have better evidence that it's something else.

Therefore, should all of us who experience sides combat the problem with an estrogen blocker? Aren't most of the sides we experience due to elevated estrogen or an imbalance in the T:Est ratio? This seems to explain why some guys don't get sexual sides, or even have a bump in libido. Most have an initial rush of T (acne, oily skin, raised libido) and then BAM. Sexual sides, even gyno.

If you used an estrogen blocker, you'd probably have even worse acne and oily skin.

possibly, but what about the other sides?

Try DIM it is an estrogen modulator.
