I think im losing my hair!

[Stez]

Ever since going on HRT i've noticed my hair is falling out after a shower or using the blow drier or anything! I used to NEVER EVER lose a hair! I mean I could literally yank at my hair and nothing would ever come out.

Now the bathroom floor is covered where i use the blow drier, and i *think* i may be receading at the front. I'm only 22! My test levels don't exceed normal on TRT, although I am yet to have DHT tested.

Is there anything I can do or do i just cop it sweet and go bald?

Yes you did. Probably around 40-100 hairs/day.

I certainly will not dispute that you may be loosing your hair more quickly now.

LOL. I'm not going to feel sorry for you because of that.

Get a topical solution. SWALE sells one, but he must prescribe it to you. I'm sure there are other good topical solutions available as well.

I have observed that some men do not seem to loose their hair when their DHT is in range but they do loose their hair when their DHT is very high. Are you using a transdermal? Get the DHT checked and go from there.

because it inhibits DHT

Saw palmetto also increases E2 and lowers free T, so there is a trade off...
