Estrogen levels and Propecia

[tpeter]

Well i had a blood test taken by my doctor for all sorts of things. The results were shocking, I was told i had high levels of TES but also higher then normal levels of estrogen. This really scared me because i know males are not supposed to have that much estrogen. I have been searching the net on why this may be and I found an article that says finasteride could be the result. I am waiting for the Doctor to call me back and see what he says he will do to lower it. in the mean time i am looking for things naturally to help.

awesome. good to know for those currently on finasteride. i cant seem to figure out how many mg per week to take though when he mentions 1/2 tablet twice a week. or where to get it for cheap....

great - another thing to worry about! just when the side-effects of propecia had started to drop away...

I've been advocating the effect on estrogen from finasteride use for quite a while ... read some of my older posts punks.

1/2 tablet = 0.50 mg. You can't get it for cheap. It's a potent anti-cancer medication for post-menopausal women for Christ's sake. It's not Tylenol.

I got mine for about $180 from the valuepharmaceuticals. All the way from the land of Crocodile Dundee and koala bears!!

would there be that much of a difference in dht blockage if someone were to take a 1mg pill every other day? wouldnt this in turn maybe keep estrogen levels lower. i know the halflife of finasteride is 6 hours but ive read its effective in fighting for 4 days, probably at a declining rate. so does an every other day regiment sound that bad?

tpeter,

Unless you have libido problems or other types of sexual dysfunction, don't take Arimidex.

The assay used to do the total estrogen test is often inaccurate. Anyway, what you care about are your estradiol levels -- the potent form of estrogen. Get a real blood test done, be assured you have side effects, then make a decision.
