Taking Finasteride raises a persons estrogen
http://finasteridesyndrome.blogspot.com/p/dht-role.html so it is already happening without taking estrogen. When you block your DHT taking Finasteride or whatever some of it is converted into estrogen. So would taking a little bit more be a bad idea? Maybe not. Estrogen increase may be part of the reason Finasteride works. DHT, Testosterone and estrogen are all related. Its about finding a balance for the body maybe that makes it grow hair on head.
Androgens, or male hormones, often increase as
estrogen levels decrease. This causes androgenic alopecia, another form of
hair loss. This is why kids dont bald and hair loss occurs when balls drop. Its testosterone and hormone balance related.
Typically
hair loss is associated with men, hence the term, male pattern baldness. It is not very common in women because we have higher levels of
estrogen which helps to
balance out the effects of the male
hormone, dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT is a potent form of
testosterone that normally leads to
hair loss.
My take is that a little bit more estrogen in your system can only do good if you are already having negative affects of testosterone or DHT, your body must be lacking estrogen needed to balance out the other hormones harming your body or hair.
