[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 115044, member: 15043"] Sounda like the hair loss issue might not be directly related to high testosterone. I personally have high DHT on TRT. As high as 142 (16-79), and I don't experience any hair loss. Obv there's a big genetic component to whether DHT is going to effect our hair loss or not, and everyone's different. But there's a lot of other things that could be causing your hair loss while on TRT, that TRT could of triggered. For instance, some men on TRT have lower thyroid function than before they started. Also low ferritin is a big one, due to men getting their blood drawn for labs or having to donate blood due to high HCT. Both low thyroid and low ferritin can cause hair loss. Also TRT can lower magnesium, which can also effect hair loss. Here's some things that you can check that have the potential to cause hair loss when low: Low thyroid Low Magnesium RBC Low Zinc RBC Low Copper RBC Low B12 Low ferritin Low cortisol (TRT is infamous for lowering cortisol) Low or High E2 (not as common, but can contribute to hair loss) Just having one of those things low could cause hair loss. So you really need to make sure they are all where they need to be to narrow down the cause. If you're lowering your testosterone dose and it's not helping, my guess it has to do with something other than DHT [/QUOTE]
