Its genetic variations. Studies already proved this about dutasteride. But I think it causes a bad hormonal balance for some, or some men are sensitive to T and not JUST dht.
Increased miniaturization on dutasteride, how long should I wait?

Appreciate the response. I have a similar theory to yours. I’m sorry for all the questions guys, I just have no one else to discuss these matters with, and dermatologists are also clueless.

I got my DHT level results just now. My DHT level is 0.28 nmol/L.

Either causes upregulation at the receptor level, or some men are very sensitive to the increase in T. Or a combo

If thats true then adding ru on top of it will only make the upreg worse. But for me it was never about upreg. I have reasons to prove that it wasnt.

My DHT is very low, so I just don’t understand anymore. My only guess is that I unfortunately fall into the small group of men who don’t respond well to treatment, only a slowing down of loss.

Those results are from last year. I had been on dutasteride for over a year when the test was taken.

You should get SHBG in check

Hmm high total T but normal free T. Free is what matters here. But would be good if you had a before test. Shame. Wow didnt see that shbg :O

High SHBG is keeping his free T down

The only conclusion I can come to is that my genetics are such that my hair follicles are sensitive to even the slightest amount of DHT. Therefore the best I can do is only slow the loss.

Could be true in my case too. But I havent been on finasteride long enough to know if it works better than dutasteride or not. Some claim better results from finasteride than dutasteride and vice versa. Im just living on hope and experimenting also desperate. But killing those damn demodex mites helped for sure. My slogan is (Those Damn Demodex Mites)

What sides and how long have you been on it?

2 weeks. I get the same sexuall sides that I got from dutasteride. My semen seeps and struggles out close to retrograde ejaculation. Its one of the possible side effects from dutasteride and finasteride. This side effect only got worse the longer I was on dutasteride. And had 1 drop of semen at the end. So f*** 5ari inhibitors.

I’d suggest taking 0.25mg for a while to see how your body reacts. You can gradually increase the dosage over time up to 1mg.
