Hi everyone,
I used finasteride for about 2 years and it never did much for me, although it may have helped me maintain somewhat. I stopped using it about 9 months ago on the advice of my doctor - I was having other health problems (more serious) that were hormonally related and my doctor didn't want the finasteride in my system "complicating" things. Anyways, I was recently diagnosed with low testosterone levels and I am going to begin testosterone replacement therapy via injections to return my levels to normal. Honestly hair loss is not the most immediate concern to me at this point, but I'm wondering, will the testosterone injections worsenmy hairloss? I used to be informed about the relatinship between testosterone, dht, etc. and hair loss but I haven't read up on things for a while...but I seem to remember that increased testosterone production was associated with hair loss. Can anyone help me out? Also, is there anything I can take that will help retain as much hair as possible if indeed the increased testosterone will make things worse? Thanks very much for the help.
