Huh?

I highly doubt your prostate is the problem infact i'm almost postive. 24 Year old male w/ BPH?( benign prostate hypertropy) never heard of it. Urinary retention can be due to several causes and it probablly is a good idea to have it checked out. But if its up to me I'd put my money on...

You get get a biopsy done anywhere. Your family doctor or dermatologist can take a small snippet of skin from your scalp and send it to a pathologist. Although unless your doctor sees a reason to do a biopsy its not worth it. The diseases i referred to above are systemic so you will see...

Hair loss can be caused by reasons other than male pattern baldness. Many inflamatory and Autoimmune disease also present w/ Hairloss. Lot of the are quite serious but some maybe farily benign.

We can absorb testosterone when injected... (even that has to be a synthetic testosterone). When you eat though.. .the food gets absorbed in the Small intestine and goes through the liver.. liver breaks down a ton of things but is especially good at breaking down lipid soluble products. This...

testosterone or any other steriod (DHT, Estrogen, etc) are not well absorbed so eating them would not increase the amt of testosterone in the blood stream.

well once again I completely disagree; i don't have to do any research because everone in my family is a doctor. I've seen my family members change peoples lives (surgery on a kid w/ cleft lip, neurosurgery on a little girl with a tumor in her brain, medications for 3rd world when they take a...

I disagree with the premise I think its true that some doctors are not as informed as one might hope but almost any dermatolgist will know more than the most experienced od posters on here. Even if that poster has read every single paper on hairloss ever written. The fact of the matter is...

No Biz i meant insulin. Hyperinsulemia is a predicator to Type II diabetes. Thats is why people w/ high levels of insulin are called prediabetics. Insulin itself acts to constrict Blood Vessels i believe its through suppression of Nitric Oxide production in endothelial cells.

How do you guys cope? I LOVE SUMMER & hair loss is ruining it for me.

Its true that Insulin is needed for glucose uptake. But excess insulin (as seen in obese patients) causes many other complications throughout the body. Including constrition of vessels (which obviously deprives cells of nutrients) the reaserch in ALL Of the functions of insulin is still...
