Does Finasteride Effect Your Testosterone?

Фильм және анимация

californiahairsurgeon.com/ If you are taking testosterone therapy, you need to be on a five alpha reductase blocker because the amount of testosterone that you have, which is gonna be way higher now, you don't actually need that much. For those patients who are more concerned about whether there might be a side effect or they just don't wanna take a daily pill, there are alternative dosing regimens that you can use. You can actually take five milligrams once a week. Definitely be on a five alpha reductase inhibitor if you are taking testosterone therapy because it is exactly the opposite of true that it inactivates the testosterone. It actually helps it, and may actually boost your testosterone just a little bit.

    I was doing TRT and finasteride and after about 3 or 4 weeks my heart was severely missing beats and for long periods of time, especially when lying down, I stopped the finasteride and the problem stopped. In my mind I thought the two where fighting against each other, after this explanation I guess not. Anybody else experience this?

    raising the dose on finasteride would not help your hairloss. if you want a heavier form of treatment consider adding 0.5mg of dutasteride per week to your regimen.

    Hi I’m 35 years old male and I’ve been taking 3mg of Finasteride every week. My blood tests before starting Finasteride showed I had low Estrogen, low Prolactin, lower end SHBG and Testosterone was within normal range. I do workout 4 days a week and wanted to find out if from 3mg of Finasteride a week can I get Gyno ?

    Gyno is a very rare side effect so unlikely. Usually gyno is seen in men with high body fat and estrogen. So you’re probably okay. Taking an aspirin a day can help keep estrogen low too.

    Hi, you are saying testosterone increases on finasteride because less dht is created. If this is the case then why does libido and sex drive crash. Doesn’t higher testosterone mean more sex drive? Thanks for your help!
