I am from Russia. In a group of 300 people aged 18-25, not a single one has baldness. I have seen young people with baldness a couple of times in my life. But in 30+ years it is more common

Literally nothing works for hair loss if you have aggressive baldness and you caught it somewhat 'late'. I am just doing all this cause I hate f*****g testosterone & DHT and it destroyed my entire body and hair, nothing else

i hate that you cant say anything here. you already recovered from hair loss with castration now your hair looks sh*t because your malnourished and gravity drained all the blood from your scalp

I’m thinking about taking 50mg bica twice weekly with my estrogen injection. It seems to work best when I use in conjunction but Bica feels useless when using on other days seems it may do worsez

Bica is trash, and should only be used if monotherapy isn't enough for some reason (same as spironolactone and cpa) and only in a small dose (12.5-15mg/day). If you want to do it correctly, taper off it and take your blood tests after month w/o it, cause it makes blood tests useless when included and there's a high chance you don't need it at all.
Levels needed for mono are:
LH<0.5 iu/l. It shows if your HPG axis it still intact or, simplier, if your testies are still making test.
SHBG80-115 nmol/l. Basically works like AA and binds to free T, preventing half of it from interacting with receptor. You dont need more than 115 tho, cause it binds to free E also (less effectively, but still), especially if your T is already low, which it should be (T10-45ng/dl is needed).
E2250-350 pg/ml. You dont need more in most cases, cause its enough to obliterate your LH and more E=more SHBG, which is counterproductive.
If, even with these levels, you feel smth is off, you should also check your DHEA-S (and 17-OH progesterone if needed) to see if your adrenal gland is mb enlarged and makes too much androgens and 3α-Androstanediol (another androgen). Thyroid panel might help too.
If any of these androgens will be elevated and your main panels (CMP, CBC, lipids) are healthy, you'll get the permision to use Bica. GL.
And if I had reflex from finasteride would topical work better and does topical block more scalp dht any studies on this?

Already use Bica. But want to lower the amount I take it because I noticed it worked best on days I take my estrogen injections.
