How possible to block adernal androgenic effects?

[EddieX]

Hi,

One of my asexual friends has done orchidectomy 9 months ago

But he suffers from adernal androgenic effects like facial and body hair
And high LH too

He doesn't take any hormones anymore

Is it possible for him to take blocker pills to stop adernal androgenic effects ?

What should he do and what's the best for him ? (Except visiting doctor)

Thanks

I know you (and your friend) don't want to hear this but visiting a doctor is exactly what he needs if he wants to deal with his hormone levels. This is not a medical advice forum and we cannot give, nor allow anyone to give out, medical advice or hormone advice.

Going a bit deeper here, medications exist which block the receptors of testosterone itself rather than its production, but as a doctor will surely tell them sex hormones are required for healthy operation in the long term. If there is no estrogen being taken or produced and the Testosterone that is produced is being blocked then things like bone density become a very real concern over time.

If your friend won't visit with the Doctor I would implore them to at least consult with one on what the specific goals are medically and how they might be reached safely.

As much as I dislike doctors, I think your friend needs medical advice.

Orchi and no hormones lead to osteoporosis, which can be quite dangerous. You can block androgens easily enough, but that's only going to make it worse. You need either estrogen or testosterone. If your friend doesn't know all that then they really need help from a doctor before something very bad happens.

I guess if your friend is trying to go in between male/female then its going to be tricky, and you'd need blood tests to get the balance of hormones right/safe. I'm M2F so its just a guess. I do have regular blood tests from an endocrinologist though.
