This email came from a transplant patient of mine from years back…
About eight or nine months ago, I had a low testosterone test result and began taking testosterone shots to respond to this. My urologist assured me that the shots would not cause hair loss, but I’d appreciate knowing from you your thoughts on the subject if possible. To my viewpoint, my hair seems to be thinner, but I am not objective (or rationale) on the subject.
If you have been taking testosterone for 9 months and have not seen an impact causing hair loss, then you should be safe with regard to this potential problem. I would assume that those hairs which are genetically impacted by the balding process are all gone by now and all you are left with is hair that will not fall out with testosterone. Your transplanted hair falls into this category.
If you were a young men and still had active balding, then you would have seen hair loss by this time from the testosterone.
As much as I am concerned about my own hair loss, I’d WISH my Testosterone levels and DHT levels to be near ZERO! Screw side effects. My T level is 895 as of 2 months ago. I know you can’t coorelate Testosterone and DHT, but I’d much rather have hair than anything else!
You’d rather be fully asexual than lose hair? That’s a fascinating dedication to keeping your follicles intact. If your testosterone and DHT were close to zero you’d have to accept some very unpleasant changes to your body. But it’s possible if you really wanted to.
