TRT, Aromasin, and Hair Loss

John99Test · Feb 8, 2020

Has anyone on TRT using Aromasin experienced diffuse thinning throughout the scalp? I know some women using it for cancer experience that. I was wondering if anyone has noticed an overall thinning and brittleness of the hair since using it. Thanks in advance.

I have friends complain about armidex being the worst in terms of that (possibly due to more DHT conversion), while they find exem not as bad. Either way, as has been discussed lately here, using a SERM like raloxifene and greatly reducing AI dosage is a good way to reduce sides.

Its a little misunderstood but the mechanism is somewhat interesting.
High DHT competitively bind to E receptors, Lowered E is whats responsible for hair thinning

.
By lowering the DHT and allowing more E to be received at the hair follicle hair thinning is slowed down.
AI's in general Ana, Letro,and Aromasin can influence the hair if doing there thing... lowering E.
No medical advise here,
