Here I will publish my results on 25 mg spironolactone.

I started using finasteride to restore hair growth in androgen-dependent areas of my forehead. It seems to be working great! It's a great supplement to estradiol!

when we eat, the adrenal glands will produce testosterone from this raw material even if the testicles don't produce testosterone! Adrenal testosterone will definitely pass through the 5 Alfa reductase. When I added finasteride, my progress on estradiol shifted! I think progesterone is not very effective in suppressing the 5 Alfa reductase

Finasteride's effects are similar to those of spironolactone. It has an estrogen-like effect on hair. This occurs because testosterone is converted to estradiol when it cannot pass through 5-alpha reductase. Spironolactone has its advantages, but it also has disadvantages. It can sometimes cause intestinal problems because spironolactone attracts water into the intestines. Finasteride does not have this disadvantage!

So how does finasteride raise testosterone levels?
