High LH and Estradiol on Finasteride – No side effects, but should I worry?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been on Finasteride for a while and just got my blood work results. I noticed a significant jump in some markers compared to my baseline from a year ago.

Current Results:

LH: 13.7 IU/l (Range: 1.7 - 8.6)

Estradiol: 213 pmol/l (Range: 41 - 159)

Baseline (Year ago):

LH: 4.8 IU/l

Estradiol: 162 pmol/l

Important context: I am not experiencing any side effects (no mood swings, no gyno). I have some water retention, but that’s been a chronic issue since before I started Fin.

Has anyone else seen their LH nearly triple like this? Is this level of Estradiol a cause for concern if I feel perfectly fine?

Thanks!
