What makes them say exercise doesn't increase hair loss? Research/Science 1/18/2025
Exercise has minimal impact on hair loss, with weight lifting slightly increasing DHT and cardio potentially decreasing it. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective treatments for managing hair loss, even for those who exercise regularly.

5 / 5 resultscommunity Does going to the gym really cause hair loss?
Exercise temporarily increases DHT levels, but this is unlikely to cause significant hair loss. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments to manage hair loss.
community Creatine and finasteride (DHT blocker)
Creatine may increase DHT and potentially accelerate hair loss, but experiences vary. Finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling are suggested to manage hair loss effectively.
community My DHT levels have increased after taking 0.25mg Fin for 47 days!
A user experienced increased hair shedding and unchanged DHT levels after taking 0.25mg of finasteride for 47 days, leading them to increase the dose to 0.5mg. Others discussed varying experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and the importance of measuring scalp DHT.
community Exercising completely negated my finasteride sides.
Exercise improved minor side effects of finasteride, such as reduced ejaculatory volume and depression, and also helped with gyno. Running and push-ups were particularly effective, leading to increased ejaculatory volume and improved mental clarity.
community Results are in for my experiment with Creatine/Fin
Creatine use with finasteride increased DHT levels, possibly affecting hair loss. The user plans to reduce creatine to stabilize DHT and hair shedding.
