Here I will publish my results on 25 mg spironolactone.

I started using finasteride to restore hair growth in androgen-dependent areas of my forehead. It seems to be working great! It's a great supplement to estradiol!

Когда мы едим, надпочечники вырабатывают тестостерон из этого сырья, даже если яички его не производят! Тестостерон из надпочечников обязательно проходит через 5-альфа-редуктазу. Когда я добавил финастерид, мой прогресс в отношении эстрадиола изменился!

Finasteride's effects are similar to those of spironolactone. It has an estrogen-like effect on hair. This occurs because testosterone is converted to estradiol when it cannot pass through 5-alpha reductase. Spironolactone has its advantages, but it also has disadvantages. It can sometimes cause intestinal problems because spironolactone attracts water into the intestines. Finasteride does not have this disadvantage!

when we eat, the adrenal glands will produce testosterone from this raw material even if the testicles don't produce testosterone! Adrenal testosterone will definitely pass through the 5 Alfa reductase. When I added finasteride, my progress on estradiol shifted! I think progesterone is not very effective in suppressing the 5 Alfa reductase

So how does finasteride raise testosterone levels?

So how does finasteride raise testosterone levels?

Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase; since a portion of testosterone is no longer consumed for DHT synthesis, its concentration in the blood rises slightly.

Testosterone leads to the production of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase within the cells; it creates the conditions for the presence of this enzyme. High levels of testosterone mean high levels of 5-alpha-reductase, resulting in hair loss.
