I think with regards to testosterone, whilst being on finasteride, is that TOTAL testosterone will increase but FREE testosterone will decrease. The reason for why total testosterone increases was perfectly explained in this video, but the decrease in free testosterone is because the lack of DHT means that more testosterone will bind to SHBG, hence reducing the levels of free testosterone.

I am a 53 year old man who has suffered from anxiety and depression ever since puberty. Got off my antidepressant 2 years prior to taking finasteride. That was a big mistake. Went through hell emotionally, and ended up stopping the drug. Thus losing a good amount of hair. I am back on finasteride and prozac, and seem to be doing well. Guys, it is possible to take the drug if you have emotional issues. You really have to monitor your mood, and continue taking your med/medications. Great video by the Dr. as always by the way. Working out also really helps, and also watching your diet and alcohol intake.

as a paediatrician myself , I appreciate your dedication to your craft . One question i would like to ask to you ( I have even asked my senior consultant dermatologists) is that how far will dutasteride affect other dht depend follicles like beard hair? I have seen randomized albeit minor studies wherein the it has stated that it does affect minimally .
@hairtransplantinindia
@hairtransplantinindia 3 года назад
90% DHT is blocked by Dutasteridebut by Finasteride- 70%. The latter does not affect beard growth therefore. However with Dutasteride I cannot say since it's been in vogue only past 5 years. We know so much about Finasteride since it is in use for 40 years. But since it does not bock all of DHT, the effect should be negligible. Thanks you for the words of encouragement, Doctor!

Thank you very much for this video doc, it is really nice that someone debunks finasterid myths on the scientific basis. I have one question that really interests me about this topic. Namely, does adding arimidex to finasterid has “steriodical effect” on healthy male person? If yes, does in that case arimidex must be taken also on daily basis? (I am aware that is not responsible to advise use of arimidex for such purpose, at least not under endocrinologist supervision, but i would like to hear Your opinion just for orientation).

Thank you one more time for an excellent video! So what range of testostrone to estrogen levels that are good or bad omen for finasteride sexual side effects? How about PSA (prostate specific antigens) levels, i heared they are important to monitor and how can you interpret the base level PSA before treatment?
@hairtransplantinindia
@hairtransplantinindia 3 года назад
PSA levels are an indicator of prostate function and a marker to screen prostatic tumors. This is affected when we take DHT blockers and hence the need to take these levels before starting on Finasteride. I do not start a patient on Finasteride unless his total testosterone level is more than 300 ng/dL. Below 500 level no more than 0.5 mg a day should be given. Testosterone levels are used in my practice to screen patients who will most likely have side effects with Finasteride.

Thank you doctor for a VERY well explained video. Many of my lingering questions were answered. I'm not a novice on these topics at this point in my life but your diagram helped reinforce my understanding and helped me eliminate some confusion I've had with other conflicting videos and discussions I've had with others. So as I understand it, although Dutasteride increases scalp testosterone to something like %100, scalp testosterone really doesn't have much of an effect on hair loss since it's really about the binding affinity of DHT (which is 5x more influential on hair loss from what I understand) to the follicle? Even though testosterone is an androgen as well?

Testosterone is very at binding with SHBG as well. Testosterone also affects hair, but instead of going totally bald, you'll grow very thinner hair in 50's because testosterone also affects hair on scalp but it is order of magnitudes less than the havoc DHT causes on your scalp from increasing scalp tightness to hairloss.

I really don't understand how DHT that was present in my body right from my teenage years was just lying dormant in my body without thinning my hair till I reached 25 and moved to a different city. I see this effect on most of my friends. The ones who moved to a different city for work, have been diagnosed with miniaturization, MPB and started experiencing thinning after crossing 24 or 25. Can you explain this? I assume Testosterone (& DHT) peaks during our teenage years and early twenties and yet I and most people I know did not lose any hair during this stage.
@hairtransplantinindia

DHT alone does not cause balding! DHT is present in everyone in equal measure after we reach puberty. But it causes androgenetic alopecia only in select few. These are the people who have the androgenetic alopecia (baldness) gene. When the gene will express itself is also encoded in it. In some it can happen as early as 17 years of age, while in others only after 50.

Thanks for a great video. I am 50 and I think I'm at my cognitive peak. I am considering finasteride. I'm a runner and I do heavy strength training. I am concerned with this claim - that ' the prevention of the synthesis of neurosteroids like allopregnanolone is caused by inhibiting 5 alpha reductase. ' In other words 5a reductase does more than just reduce DHT levels. So it could be that the disputes about whether testosterone or dht affects libido (or particular parts of mood) the most are complicated by the fact of 5a reductase levels affecting other neurotransmitters that affect mood. It's possible that dht or affected neurotransmitters affect the cns and focus in sports. Any thoughts? (the, reason I mention my cognitive peak is that with physical decline inevitable and mental decline following behind later hopefully, it's going to be difficult to know what might be going on).
@hairtransplantinindia
@hairtransplantinindia 3 года назад
Yes the hormone DHT is essential for cognitive well being and general health of synaptic pathways of the brain. However we are not blocking all of the DHT. Very few people report this problem but as in erectile dysfunction Finasteride tips the balance unmasking the effect in those who are vulnerable. This does not happen in the vast majority though. If this were to happen you can stop the drug.

Thank you for showing us the physiology of testosterone metabolism. There are some physicians discussing the benefit of lower finasteride dosage such as 1mg 3x per week, with the benefit of having enough DHT blocking at the follicle, but less side effect. I have yet to find any research to support this strategy as the original study was only done at 1mg 7x per week. Have you found any research that would point to this Lower dose of finasteride as a potential therapeutic option?

Gynecomastia never happens if you are not overweight while on Finasteride. And you need to check testosterone levels before starting Finasteride. If low and estrogen high, please forget about taking Finasteride. I cannot say anything about clinics advertisements and the results they show. You need to figure that out yourself. I only provide information on the channel and am not pulling down other clinics or promoting my own.

Sir i heard dht conversion takes place with help of enzyme 5 Alpha reductase .so while taking dht blockers like finasteride testosterone is converted estrogen with enzyme aromatase. So people with more amount of aromatase have chances of more side-effects right? I heard earlier that people with belly fat and high insulin levels have high aromatase enzymes in them and also have higher side-effects

Sir, my age is 30 and I have a genetic hair loss problem. For that I took finistride for 3 months around 4 years ago. And side effect of soft erection was seen. Dermatologist asked me to stop taking finistride and just use minoxidil with some oral multivitamins. That actually worked very well and until November 2019 it stopped my hairfall pretty much i.e. about 4-5 hairs per day. But i don't know why in last 5 months my hairfall has increased significantly to around 50-100 hairs per day and my scalp is now very much visible. Inspite of my sexual sensitivity towards finistride another dermatologist adviced me to take topical solution of minoxidil + finistride but it hasn't worked even 1% in last 4 months and hairfall is increasing day by day. Sir, please help and suggest me something.

Patients are likely to get normal results and still get side effects due to the huge psychological overlay. The tests help in finding those with hypogonadism.

In my own experience, taking AI cause alot of issues. From pain in joints, overall feeling gloomy and lethargy.

Doctor , good content. Doctor you said it will increase the level of 15% testosterone by using finsteride that will be added to the third category which will increase estradiol , that is a female sex hormone which will give an impact to bone and brain in male. Which will impact in slight reduce in muscle and all( this is what I understood from your video). But what I didn't understand is muscle comes in other category of testosterone, until or unless finestride touches the testosterone that stimulates liver , muscle and fatcells. How the muscle is impacted? If the 15% increase in estradiol, what will be the impact in bone and brain?
@hairtransplantinindia
@hairtransplantinindia 4 года назад
Testosterone has no impact on muscle mass. It is a Myth that it does. This is reinforced when patients on Finasteride develop puffy breasts (gynecomastia, man boobs). People will then take more of the unnatural proteins for muscle mass building like Whey protein which in turn will cause more thinning and the cycle goes on and on...! Estrogen is good for bones. I do not think increased Estrogen due to DHT blockers has any noticeable good effect on the brain. Even if it does, due to some reason patients occasionally complain of mood changes and foggy thought process. Patients only report side effects, and seldom do to come and tell how good the drug is! This is purely by observation.

DHT is the active metabolite of testosterone. Muscle building is a function of DHT. Increased testosterone levels can be alarming in those who live a sedentary life and are overweight. In others I have not seen much of a problem. To avoid all this Dutasteride should be taken with utmost caution since it blocks almost 95% DHT which is a lot.

@@Richard-zb3qw Do you have low libido? What is your BMI? Have you now checked your total testosterone level with sample taken around 8 AM?

Hi doctor, can I take a testosterone/estradiol test after the first month of taking finasteride? Or it’s better to wait at least 3 months before taking a test? I read that the hormonal levels tend to stabilise after 3 months of taking the medication

You need to stop the medication for 30 days before you take the test if you expect a true status- for Finasteride alters your hormonal profile by 15%
