Been in finasteride for many years and noticed some fat in the chest/stomach accumulating over the past several years. Wanted to see how my hormone levels were since I'm normally a skinny guy and fairly consistent with diet.
Originally I had some tests done and they used the regular estradiol test . Under the regular test, I was at upper 30s pg/mL and borderline the cutoff value for normal. This next time under the ultrasensitive estrodial test, I show 16 pg/mL with a reference cutoff of 29. Is it possible that I have too low estrogen? Unfortunately, they didn't do my testosterone, but last time it was around 550 I think. I've been dealing with a lot of shedding or possibly receding more in the past year and wondering if that could contribute
