What Are The Chances That Dht Converted Testosterone Is Continuing To Recede My Hair?

[neddy2016]

I have found that over the past month of taking finasteride daily i have felt more energized, like i used to need caffeine in the mornings to get up but i haven't felt that way for a long time and have felt very unfatigued since.

I am putting it down to the possibility that its the rise of testosterone levels because of finasteride

But with that in mind i have also had my hairline receding faster since taking Finasteride so what are the chances are the extra DHT converted testosterone is actually killing my hairline?

I know there is meant to be a name for it when Testosterone takes over from the DHT and continues thinning but they also came with side effects like oily skin and hair which i don't have, and spots which i don't have.

No way that you have more dht with finasteride than without

You have more free t and thus more t gets aromatised into estrogen but not more dht

But 1mg finasterid only lowers the dht lvl down to 30% of the normal lvl so it could be that the remaining dht still kills your hairline

+ other factors like prostaglandin could cause it

Maybe its bro science, but I have never been completely convinced that testosterone the most abundant male hormone does not bind to AR in a similar way to DHT. I wont argue DHT is much stronger.

So there is no way testosterone could take over from DHT and continue hair loss?

For example would too much non dht testosterone actually be just as bad a DHT?

if DHT is converted into more testosterone.

Its tough to say. I think T over time could cause slow hair loss in those sensitive enough. The pseudo hermaphradites though just lacking DHT dont go bald even with normal T levels, but the key is how sensitive was their hair to androgens?
I think its possible, but there is no way to stop T anyway even if it does. Maybe a topical like RU or topical spironolactone
