Long story short, I take finasteride and it raises my estradiol. I took a medication called Lyrica which further raised estradiol so I stopped it.
The reason I want to lower it is that I noticed that I get bloated and have facial swelling/sagging when it is elevated. My endocrinologist ordered several blood tests over the past 2 years so we know it's definitely the finasteride doing it.
I had Tamoxifen and Arimidex prescribed, they didn't help.
Just trying to do a little research before doctor visit.
Is there anything that can lower E2?
