DHT can't aromatize into estrogen which is why it is produced in high levels by the body as a last ditch effort to combat rising levels of estrogen but ESPECIALLY prolactin.
What are some ways to combat this issue?
u r taking things that lower dht tho
Not true, balding is associated with DHT in scalp, not DHT in the body.
No shit DHT in the scalp causes hairloss along with androgen sensitivity in the area jfl.
No, people with baldness don't have elevated DHT levels in serum. Instead they have elevated DHT levels in scalp and not in serum.
Then why does oral fin work?? It's systemic and lowers dht levels in the serum.

Serum Levels of Androgen-Associated Hormones Are Correlated with Curative Effect in Androgenic Alopecia in Young Men
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss in men. However, the pathogenesis is not yet fully understood and therapeutic approaches are limited. This retrospective study investigated the association between levels of androgen-associated ...
It's not only systemic, it's peripheral as well. Lower system hormones means the drug is working and thus peripheral DHT will be reduced as well, but high peripheral DHT doesn't mean high systemic DHT.
Yes try seeing if you can lower the estrogen naturally first, into the low-normal area, and if you still can't consider an AI. Also minimize all prolactin related activities and see for a few months.
