I've been hearing people saying how finasteride decreases testosterone and increases estrogen, which from what it sounds like, is what leads to these sexual side effects. I've been a big soy fan for a long time now, and I even tried getting more of it in my system when I heard it could actually be used to help fight hair loss (It's also good for hair even if you're not losing it.). I've also heard from many sources that soy can increase your estrogen and possibly lead to things like impotence (I think much of what is said about soy is theory.); however, this only happens when soy is consumed in excess. Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the finasteride side effects come from lowered testosterone and increased estrogen? Soy has never hurt me in the past, but I'm starting to wonder if taking it along with finasteride will increase my chances of side effects? I'm still still waiting to see if my sex drive comes back the rest of the way (still on finasteride). Any thoughts on this?
