Possible To Maintain Normal Dht Levels While On Finasteride?

[ladysmanfelpz]

Any chance of keeping DHT levels within the normal limits while on finasteride? Without using steroids or any synthetic treatment?

I know the purpose of finasteride is to reduce DHT, but just seeing if there is a way to increase it in a healthy manner, even if not to normal range, just to get a slight bump. I would feel more comfortable if all my labs were in the normal range, but obviously this is the risk we take with a medication and I'm glad to know its working.

DHT was 16 ng/dl where normal range is 30-85.
T was 645 within the normal range of 348 to 1197.
Free T was 16.6pg/ml where normal range is calculated at 9.3-26.5.

Is there any purpose to increasing DHT or is the T value all we should be concerned about. Some mild sides such as decreased ejaculate volume and lower libido, but nothing serious, but would just like to take extra precautions before it becomes serious.

Lifestyle is okay diet with minimal exercise right now. No weightlifting currently. 26 years old.

P.S. Is there any other health concerns I should be aware of while on finasteride? I've heard things about blood pressure, but never substantiated.

You could try taking less finasteride to see if DHT goes back up a bit, I think.

Finasteride causing issues with blood pressure, is it true ?

There would be no point in taking finasteride then.

If you keep DHT on normal levels your hair WILL fall. At that point it would be the same as not taking finasteride. You have to lose your fear and deal with it.
