hello doc. my question is this. I have high levels of testosterone levels and I am quite muscular because of it(never taken steroids, but look like a bodybuilder due to consistent hard work over the years and a good nutrition diet). I am on propecia for about a month now and minoxidil, so obviously I have a long time to yet see results. Because I am very muscular, due to high levels of natural testosterone production(thus I look like a bodybuilder=Huge! without ever taking any steroids), will taking propecia work on me? I don’t mind having high testoterone levels as I’m 21 in great natural bodybuilding shape, and feel great. I just hope propecia will respond for me because of my young age, and the fact that I have very mild early miniturazion(I got it mapped out) and hope to thicken up my hair in the thinning areas. Thank you for your time Doctor.
I do not believe having high testosterone or looking like a bodybuilder has much to do with Propecia’s success. Hair loss is genetic. Propecia will likely work for you if you’re a male with genetic hair loss (and by “work”, i mean it could halt the hair loss for a while or it could regrow — or both). In fact, you can be a scrawny little man with very low testosterone and you can still have hair loss (if you have the genes for hair loss).
