Have any of you guys experienced any change in your hair since beginning TRT. Is there any chance that the increased level of Testosterone could cause me to experience Male balding? Or, have any of you guys experienced an improvement in your head hair since TRT?
What is your protocol? I was on Androgel for over 10 years. Always had hair so thick I couldn’t manage having it any longer than and inch. but just a year ago noticed, i’m suddenly very thin in the front. At this same time I was pissing every 20 minutes and was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. (I’m 34 BTW) Both of those conditions are associated with high DHT, which a certain amount of your T converts to. More so if you are on a Transdermal TRT. (Learned that really late). my DHT was never tested until I took every natural approach to lower it? And the reading was still above normal range. Most guys don’t worry about DHT unless there is any negative symptoms going on. DHT gives you a strong libido, and helps with muscular strength too, I believe.

MPB is genetic. TRT does not make hair fall out for those who are not predisposed to this. For those who have MPB genetics, it will speed the process up.
If one has been T deprived, hair growth can be slower and TRT can make your hair grow at a rate similar to what you had in your youth.
Yes, TRT has been making me bald much faster. I wish it weren’t so.
I agree it is genetic, and some will never lose their hair no matter what. My father’s side loses their hair, mother’s side doesn’t. Your genetics determine how sensitive your hair follicles Are to DHT. I think some guys that keep their DHT at levels well above range, are going to lose hair that they didn’t have to lose. Just think it’s not as black amd white as many say.
Transdermals usually raise DHT to well above the natural upper limit, so they can be particularly bad for hair. Injections may be better, but I even lose a lot of hair on injections. I use minoxidil as well as topical spiro and keto and still lose hair rapidly.
Yes… I doubt I would have lost any hair, if I wasn’t on transdermal gel for so many years and never once monitored for DHT levels. It’s good that guys are getting knowledge beyond what their doctor tells them here. Wish I found this site 10 years ago.
