5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
community Dutasteride isn’t working confirmed by test.
Dutasteride isn't effectively reducing DHT levels, prompting a switch back to finasteride. The user questions the reliability of their DHT test results due to hair loss concerns.
community Dermatologist won't prescribe oral finasteride without first trying topical and having blood and sperm tests done
A user is frustrated that their dermatologist requires blood and sperm tests before prescribing oral finasteride, despite already taking oral minoxidil. They prefer oral medication over topical treatments due to sensory issues and are considering asking their GP for a finasteride prescription or seeking alternatives online.
community 2.5mg Dut/RU/minoxidil can't counter 15mg Testosterone..
Despite using Dutasteride, RU58841, and Minoxidil, hair loss continues due to low testosterone levels from taking 15mg of testosterone weekly, which may not produce enough estrogen. Increasing testosterone dosage and stabilizing hormone levels might help address the issue.
