[QUOTE="BJE, post: 201425, member: 13968"] I may be stupid but I have a question. If you are on TRT and your DHT is high why wouldn’t you merely lower your testosterone dose? I’m fairly certain that most of the benefits of testosterone require that it first be converted to DHT, the exception being muscles, which use testosterone directly. So, a man has low testosterone and along with it low DHT and the resulting low libido and erectile disfunction. He injects testosterone which converts to DHT so that it can be used to stimulate the libido and cause erections. His DHT is high due to the testosterone injections so he takes finasteride to lower DHT, the very thing that was low to begin with. It makes more sense to me to monitor the DHT level and adjust the testosterone dose accordingly rather than inject too much testosterone then take a drug to counteract its effects. [/QUOTE]
