    If you ask a gynecologist what causes premature birth, the answer will usually be something along the lines of "insufficient progesterone" often accompanied by mumbling about "genetic predispositions".

    DHT / Progesterone / aspirin treat, cortisol ineffective, PUFA promotes prostate cancer

    So, finasteride works similar to progesterone just because it increases serum progesterone by reducing its conversion to Dihydroprogesterone. What if I just use oral progesterone which is available in my country for hair loss? What the recommended dosage for standalone progesterone?
