You'd be surprised. When I had a full head of hair, my hair did all the talking for me when I went out with girls. But in general you are correct!

Yeah youre right. Just a little nervous since its the 1st time taking trt.

Interesting. I read somewhere that trt can actually reverse hairloss in some men. Of course thats on a case by case basis.

You said trt can speed up dht hairloss. This is the only thing keeping me from re-starting trt again.

Since we're on the subject of hairloss, do you think dental xrays may cause hairloss? My dentist wants to zap me with 18 xrays for a full scan which is standard practice with no exceptions to any patient (unless youre on chemo). Let me know... need to know your thoughts!!!
