[QUOTE="madman, post: 112032, member: 13851"] MPB (male pattern baldness) is genetic and regardless of whether one is on trt or not it is inevitable and will happen at a certain time point in ones life.....some experience it in their early 20s where as others it will not start until decades later. Testosterones metabolite dht plays a role but it really comes down to the sensitivity of ones AR (androgen receptor) to dht and ones threshold as balding can happen even in genetically prone individuals with lower dht levels. Although other factors are involved in hair loss ones sensitivity of the AR to testosterone would play a big role. Testosterone use/abuse can speed up the process in genetically prone individuals. I know physically/mentally losing hair can be devastating for many men. My hair started thinning when I hit 26 and I lost it.....was hard to deal with at such a young age.....eventually I reached a point where I accepted it and just shaved my head.....luckily my head suits the shaved look. I think that in most younger men that experience hair loss it stabilizes by age 35-40 and than there is no further loss. I did not start trt until I was 42 years old and my TT/free T levels are in the higher end of the physiological range along with a high/normal DHT level and I have never noticed any further hair loss!
