Hello,
I'm inquiring about a hormonal issue engendered by an 8-9 month long course of finasteride. Around 2 years after taking finasteride, I took human chloronic gonadotropin(earlier this year) which increased my male hormones, but also massively spiked my estrogen, to the point where I have sky-high estradiol, basically aromatize everything, and suffer from high-estrogen symptoms like weight gain, puffiness, stretch marks, gyno, sexual issues, ED, etc. - the whole lot.
I also suffered from use of proton pump inhibitor, and all three (finasteride, ppi use, and hcg) have contributed to issues with my steroid synthesis. I now take thyroid, pregnenalone, progesterone, and DHEA just to function normally. Without them, and without semen retention, I would be a complete mess. I want to eventually try to get off taking the youth-associated hormones - PROG, PREG, DHEA. Would obviously be great if my body could function properly/optimally without having to take anything.
I need to teach my body how to produce hormones properly and utilize the optimal hormone pathways. Also think I need to increase 5ar enzyme. That's why I took HCG - to do these things, and it helped in some ways, but exacerbated in others. I have no idea how to rectify this. Do y'all have any ideas?
