“Is Propidren suitable for me? I'm afraid it'll mess up my other hormones”
Hello, I'm thinking about buying Propidren but I'm afraid that it will mess up my other hormones. My hair loss is long-term, like 2 years, and my hair is going thinner and thinner. So I was thinking that it's due to my hormones, but I didn't do tests for oestrogen or progesterone yet. Can I use Propidren without a doctor or tests?

Whenever you start a supplement, you should always let your Doctor know especially one that has the potential to affect your hormones. Therefore, I wouldn’t start it unless you speak with your Doctor first.
Never heard of it and neither has my drug reference. Is it FDA approved? If not, maybe you should spend your money on something that works.
I would suggest first seeing a board certified dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss. Propidren is an unregulated dietary supplement that contains saw palmetto. Saw palmetto blocks DHT production in the body in all tissues similar to the medication Propecia. This could certainly alter hormonal balance. Minoxidil 5% solution or foam (Rogaine) is a topical product with a similar mechanism and can be purchased over the counter in bulk from Costco or Sam’s Club at a discount. I would still see your doctor for an evaluation though.
