Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

A certain part of my crown just refuses to grow hairs, i remember years ago when my anxiety was high i would tug out big chunks of hair on my crown, is it possible by pulling those hairs out i have the damaged the follicle and nothing will regrow them?

Why don't you try 15% minoxidil and 1% hydrocortisone on it?

He has been banned for being too iconic... Although, he will be unbanned at the end of July!

progesterone levels increase during pregnancy in women like estradiol. Who added it to the regimen?

 

[Yar]

During pregnancy in a woman's body, the amount of estrogen increases dramatically, which has a beneficial effect on hair growth. In addition, the placenta produces a large amount of the hormone progesterone, which blocks the activity of male hormones (in particular dihydrotestosterone). Under the influence of estrogen and progesterone, the hair growth phase is extended.

Ok that's stupid then ... I don't agree all the time with him but when you're contributing to the forum you're not supposed to be banned ...

I know your pain man, i started losing mine later than you, at 17 years old, but the stress of balding has taken a toll on my mental health. It became an obsession to get my hair back, i spent a lot of money on doctors who did no help, some "hair specialist" even scammed me for $2,500 and i knew it might be a scam but that's how vulnerable i was because i was desperate. I tried Finasteride which did nothing. I tried Dutasteride which did nothing. i tried topical minoxidil which maintained for a while but eventually did nothing. For the first 3 years i was so stressed out that towards the end when i knew none of those meds were working in my body i would go into full blown psychosis where i would feel panicked with anxiety and have many hallucinations where i would feel like i am having a bad acid trip. It sucked me dry of emotions and i can't feel enjoyment in anything at all no matter what it is, people said get out and travel, so i traveled the world and got no enjoyment out of it, and i think balding has altered my personality in a way that i am bitter inside and i also lost my long time girlfriend because of it (i assume). I live in isolation to this day because of it. i don't go outside or talk to anyone unless i have to. i guess it depends from person to person but balding can literally destroy ones life. HRT is the last hope for myself, i said the same, i choose side effects over depression because i don't want to feel like a piece of sh*t anymore.

I understand that, although I was reasonably quick to get myself onto such an extensive regimen. Originally, I had a bad feeling about using finasteride; my instinct became reliable in this instance, because I began to notice there is a lack of success stories when it comes to younger patients in a similar situation to mine. Even now, I have a greatly bad feeling about the use of finasteride, And, I experienced that too! It became overly exhausting, and I felt detached from the world. It was as if I was watching myself in a nightmare, but I couldn’t wake myself up. It would worsen after I had gotten a haircut, because I can see how bad my hair truly is! I just felt like the world was against me because there is constantly challenges thrown at me...

I guess I'd again be able to become normal. I don't know if I'm originally an introvert or I just turned one BC of Hair loss. But it gave me bouts of depression, so I'd like to think I'm ambivert. I hope I can be normal again.

You're quick? Still you lost huge density. You can't add growth stimulant for reasons otherwise your progress can be fast.

Hi5 for last sentence - I can live with some sides, but not with depression, and I'm absolutely certain of my hair continue to fall and no regrowth take place, I will be in depression.

Re finasteride and dutasteride: some people's hair is sensitive to T, and in these cases finasteride/dutasteride can even exacerbate hair loss. I do hope though that this is not true in my case.

 

[I'mme]

it seemed to me as soon as the doctor precribed me finasteride my hairfall became infinitely worse and it never recovered lol. but have a look at this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15464773

It's a comparison of Finasteride and Cyproterone Acetate/estrogen effect on hormone levels

"the two treatment methods was similar (47.6 % vs. 51.1%; P=0.2). Treatment with CPA plus EE2 significantly decreased serum total and free T, A, DHEAS, and DHT and increased SHBG levels. Finasteride significantly increased total T but reduced DHT levels." i think i am sensitive to both T and DHT and that's why my hair didnt have any improvement from 5AR inhibitors alone.

Yesss..

Have you seen any improvement yet?

Bridge, what do you say about the addition of progesterone? Topical therapy with progesterone significantly inhibits 5α-reductase in an in vitro study. According to Cassidenti D.L. et al. (1991), in high concentrations, progesterone inhibited the synthesis of DHT by 97%, estradiol - by 41%. I am going to use it in a gel on a body of Estrogel type

 

[Yar]

estradiol thickens the hair during pregnancy, women, respectively, should be present progesterone

 

[Yar]

Progesterone, the female natural ovarian hormone, which is high after ovulation, not only does not have androgenic effects, but also prevents them. In fact, by suppressing the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), it reduces the stimulation of tech cells (which produce the male hormone) in our ovaries. Progesterone also reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone that directly causes the growth of dark, coarse facial hair.

And how do you support yourself if you don’t go anywhere? Do you have any work? I always wonder how people live in the United States, propaganda on TV can say what it really isn’t at all! supports the US government? In Russia, no ordinary person provides assistance in the money, you have to work. Many governments of different countries provide financial support to their citizens!
