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.

Fantastic simple explanation. Thank you!
If you’re already taking 1mg of finasteride daily, should you add another 5mg a week when going on hrt ?
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, 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!
But it doesn't. Do you actually take Finasteride. Watch the 'Haircafe' videos. It's a myth, unless you are one of the few that get side effects, even then, it's a myth.
@@gavinr9107 I did take finasteride and got side effects which included decreased libido. Are you saying that the side effects are a myth?
They think it can by increasing estrogen, and it does that by increasing your free testosterone since some of it isn't binding to the dht receptor. Something like that lol look into increased estrogen on fin
@@coryburnett9470 I have been on Finasteride for over three months with ZERO side effects. As has many other men who take it everyday. There is so much misinformation and fear mongering with Finasteride it is rather alarming.
Amazingly explained
What about side effects like low libido and penile shrinkage and acne?? Is finasteride or dutasteride better?
Finasteride helped with acne while on TRT.
Many other things could’ve contributed to what you described, depression, diabetes, cholesterol, or blood pressure issues. Never heard of penis shrinkage
@@Northdallasguy00 As far as i`m concerned i just have no desire to fuck and before i always used to think about sex. Now i`m on trt and i have also heard about masturabation to help keep your nuts working.I don`t know what to do , keep the hair or sex drive.
@@Northdallasguy00 Same I've watched over 50 videos on finasteride from dermatologists and I have NEVER once heard of penile shrinking. The dude's on crack man.
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.
Sounds like good blood work to me dude
I always gyno anyways and might get surgery to remove it sometime in the future anyways. Finasteride has done wonders for me and I wish I had started it ten years prior to when I did. I would still have all of my hair instead of most of it.
Amazing! Thanks a lot❤
No one seems to explain the problem
Ok total T goes up but free T goes down becaues of SBHG goes also up and it binds to free T. Since total T goes up and You block DHT the estrogen might also be rised due to aromataze. This is why people have issues when taking fin...
I've had a harder time putting on muscle in the gym since starting finesteride. I also tire out quicker in my workouts. I wonder if finesteride is playing a role.
@@vincewarren1271 I had the same problem. No matter how hard I would try to bulk up i would stay the same weight. Also lost strength, drive/motivation. Stopped taking it & gained 10lbs the first month. It lowers DHT, and dht plays a huge role in muscle building i've found.
@@jaydog9329 did you stop any other supplements?
@@jaydog9329 you have become the victim of the bullshit "post-finasteride syndrome" propaganda. Stop spending too much time on those forums. And start watching educational content from channels like this and The Hair Loss Show and Haircafe.
@@vincewarren1271 100 %.I have been taking this for 4 years and i guarantee your sex drive will go away and your tests will go down dramatically and you will always be tired and down.
Does taking finasteride destroy beard hair?
If you have already growth a beard , no but if you haven't it will just slow the growth a little bit, but again it does have anything bad
i can deal with that , save the shaving cream money.
Took it for about 8 months with no issues with beard growth.
If anything I need to trim my beard more regularly.
The problem is NOW u have more testosterone the problem is now u got more estrogen which will means problems
As long as the testosterone to estrogen ratio is correct then you'll be OK.
No problem, because of the ratio with it going up equally.
