Low T/hLH at 23 Need help/advice

[kelkel]

Yes, TRT would increase your DHT level. More T = more DHT as the majority of test turns to DHT. I'd keep an eye on your LH level. If it's trending down I'd consider an MRI to rule out adenomas.

Ill check with my Dr. about getting an MRI done but the thing that concerns me also is if DHT levels are insufficient and I was previously on Finasteride in which Fin cancels out the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme would I still benefit from TRT raising DHT or do I have the possibility of an 5ar deficiency from the Finasteride and if so is there any way known to increase 5ar activity?

Nay the propecia is long out of your system so isn't a concern now, as for 5-AR a daily dose of creatine (5g) is proven to upregulate the enzyme.

Absolutely.

It doesn't cancel it out completely. Fina blocks it at about a 70% rate if taking a full 5mg dose.
