[QUOTE="Saul, post: 112016, member: 16541"] Let me just vent a bit - Getting old sucks ass. Unlike my nose and my ears, the hair on the top of my head is getting thin. My wife noticed it yesterday and I looked with a mirror and sure enough, it is thinning out on top. We looked over some pictures back in Feb and it was getting a tad thin back then but now it is more noticeable. I acknowledge that in the big picture going bald is not that big a deal, but mentally I am not there yet. The thought of dropping TRT is not where I want to go given the poor mental and physical state I was in pre-TRT and going bald on top is not much better in my mind. For me TRT has been a big success - sex life is back, better mental state, working out, and all labs / blood pressure are better than pre-TRT. The thinning is only on top, not in the front or sides or back. Not bald yet, but I can see the scalp in spots with some hair covering it. I take after my Mom and her side of the family is most all ways related to hair and even looks and she has a full head as did both her parents when they passed in their late 80's, early 90's. I am not suppose to go bald - ever. My dad started thinning on top and in the front about my age (~50) but I have nothing in common with my Dad hair wise. Plus, WTF, I have excess hair on chest, legs, butt, ears, and nose. I have some questions for anyone that can help. 1. Could it be genetic given that my hair is the same as my mom's in color, thickness, texture and her parents? Could I really pick this [U]one [/U]hair trait up from my Dad? 2. I have been reading about it and it appear TRT can cause this. Pre-TRT I had full, thick hair. I am pulling more labs tomorrow but last labs my FT was 640 and DHT was right in the middle of the range at 59 in the range of 30 to 85 - at this time I was on about 93 mg/week with injections every 3 days. Right now I am on 100 mg per week with injections 2 times per week and no other meds. Nothing extreme so I would avoid side effect. I don't have any other environmental factors for baldness. Do you think it is caused by TRT? 3. Any suggestions on the latest and greatest? I have searched/read may posts but did not find much for 2018. Finnestrate pills do not seem like a good option. I can try Rogain and Ketoconazole shampoo. Anything else to try? Suggestions? What would you do? I could try dropping the TRT and see if I recover and stay on track with daily exercise and diet but I was low 300's before and was struggling. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
