Leaving this here for other men who might stumble on this: Oral finasteride drives your DHT way down. However, driving DHT down is essentially the binary goal of stopping hair loss.

And that's all fine and good, but having 'just enough' DHT is important for good health. (Psychology, sexual function, etc)

If you're on finasteride, do yourself a favor and consult with a TRT ('low T') doctor, have your DHT level tested, and consider modulating your finasteride dosage according to its effect on your DHT level.

A good balance is worth working towards. Don't blindly take finasteride without keeping an eye on its effects to your DHT.
