Guys Join the community! Men are welcome here! Ladies like myself, we are quick to jump into discussions about menopause to seek help and guidance. Well, no one is really talking about MAN-OPAUSE, men experience this decline in hormones and overall well-being too. Share your story, let the community hear your voice and let us know your thoughts!
Just for clarification male pattern hair loss is due to hair follicle sensitivity to DHT or dihydrotestosterone. It can happen wirh low of high testosterone. Its also why DHT blockers like finasteride and dutasteride are treatments and not testosterone replacement therapy. There is some evidence that TRT in men with low T and transgender women transitioning to men actually accelerates hair loss.
Interesting. Andropause is different in several way compared to menopause for women but it's the same, it several ways in terms of how you feel and lack of energy etc.
The most important syntpom of our time is androgenic alopecia. This is why we need to fund more research into this subject. /s
