I’m only 21. II have zero idea about breast cancer and my Gynecomastia?

Jan 27, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

There is generally no connection between having gynecomastia and developing breast cancer in a 21 year old male

Trans Woman taking Minoxidil

Jan 27, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

Would you happen to know if my frequency (1x/day vs 2x) is appropriate given my circumstances of minimal circulating androgens?

Minoxidil has nothing to do with circulating androgens. The hair produced from minoxidil was originally seen as a drug side effect when the drug was use of high blood pressure management. The typical Trans Women take more aggressive treatments for blocking their androgens.

Does going bald mean you have “bad” genes?

Jan 26, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

I always see people talk about it, how people who go bald young is a sign of bad genes or people going bald young saying they have bad genes. I mean i guess it’s not cosmetically ideal for keeping a youthful aesthetic but does balding say anything about the “quality” of your genetics or what

It means that you have balding genes, not bad genes. If you develop uniquely crown balding, there is an indication that you are at a statistically greater risk of heart disease and stroke, I guess that is not good genes. I have pure crown balding and have some atherosclerosis of my coronary arteries.

Miniaturization Question

Jan 25, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

Is hair miniaturization always male pattern baldness?

Mostly miniaturization indicates hair loss is probably genetic in both men and women.

Should I wait to get a hair transplant?

Jan 25, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

Is it better to do it sooner or does it really matter when you undergo surgery? do I need to rush into it or will the results be the same if I wait a couple of years?

Timing of the surgery is a personal decision. The question is if you are bald, can you handle it, or , if you are becoming balder, can you handle it? If you are over 25, a hair transplant can be an option.  Will getting your hair back now make a difference in your life?

Will weight lifting accelerate my hair loss?

Jan 22, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

I don’t know if I am just super conscious but I started to lift again about 6 weeks ago and it seems like there is much more hair in the shower falling out than before, isn’t it true that lifting will release more DHT or something? or am I just panicking

Wight lifting without taking any medications or supplements, will not cause an increase in hair loss. In fact, it may reduce enough of your stress to take the stress off of the hair loss.

Can a person have both Norwood balding + DUPA ?

Jan 21, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

Yes, both can simultaneously. That means that if you have DUPA, you should never have a hair transplant because the grafts will eventually fail sooner than later.

Am I losing hair? (photo)

Jan 21, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

To find out if you are really losing hair, get a HAIRCHECK test (https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/ ) and this will actually measure the loss and then you can follow what happens over time with treatment.

Testicular pain, stopped finasteride 7 months ago

Jan 21, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

I took finasteride for almost 30 days exactly around june last summer, but quit due to noticing gyno coming on, once i hopped off the gyno has stopped progressing but i still have a slightly watery semen and just last week i started having ball ache, it started very mild but it’s just been getting worse and worse. i’m going to try to get recommended to a hormone specialist or something on monday. has anyone else had a new side effect come on this late after stopping fin use? should i be very worried or is this just something minor? i haven’t had any ed problems or libido problems that i can notice, but i’m afraid that’s next

There are many causes of testicular pain and if you are off finasteride for 7 months, it is likely that you have one of these other causes. See your family doctor

Over-Harvested Donor Area from Turkey (photo)

Jan 20, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

We continue to see over-harvested donor areas where those doing the hair transplants take out so much donor hair that they start making the donor area bald. In this man, clearly the hair transplants also failed as you can see from the top of his head. The donor hairs were also taken from his neck area which is not permanent hair.

Can I treat hair loss at 17 years old?

Jan 20, 2021/by William Rassman, M.D./0 /Hair Loss Causes

If you are losing hair, you should meet with a good doctor and develop a Personalized Master Plan for your long term hair loss problem and its treatment. Be strategic and don’t mess with being your own doctor. There are good drugs for you that work very effectively such as finasteride and minoxidil.

Transected grafts placed for counting (photo)

Almost all of the grafts collected by this surgical team was either transected or mutilated. It was surprising that the team was proud of them enough to publish this photo. Significantly less than half of these hair will survive the transplant. Is this a brargain?
