TLDR Young men with early baldness may have lower Luteinizing Hormone levels due to higher dihydrotestosterone, possibly from certain drugs or gland disorders.

The study "Early Baldness in Males and Hormonal Changes" conducted in 2016 involved 78 male participants, 43 of whom were experiencing baldness and 35 who were not. The participants were divided into three age groups: 20-29, 30-39, and 40-49 years old. The study aimed to evaluate the role of gonadotropin hormones in male hair loss. The results showed a significant decrease in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) levels in the baldness group aged 20-29 years compared to the healthy group. However, no significant difference was found in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) or LH levels in the other age groups. Additionally, no correlation was found between the two hormones and the degree of baldness or age. The study concluded that the decrease in LH levels in younger men with baldness could be due to an increase in their dihydrotestosterone level, possibly as a result of taking sexual activation drugs, hypopituitarism, or a disorder in their hypothalamus gland.

community 35 MtF | 16 Months | Minoxidil + Dutasteride + Microneedling + Exosomes. Note that since I'm early in my transition (and I was coming from a bald state), I still have short hair. Very few MtF progress pictures here, I figure this might help some of you.

community Be careful when switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride because for more efficacy.
