At 72 Years Old, I Saw Hair Loss After Testosterone Replacement Therapy

I am a 72 year old male in excellent physical condition. Because I was starting to feel a lack of energy, after a blood test for testosterone level, he said I was on the low end of the acceptable scale for testosterone. He prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. I started weekly shots. After about a month I started noticing a very definite loss of hair on my head. I stopped the testosterone injections. My question is “Will my hair grow back over time now that i have stopped the testosterone injections?”

I have started taking Shen/Min DHT Blocker and using Ovation Cell Therapy to help. Thanks

I am sorry to hear you noticed androgenic hair loss after testosterone therapy. At 72 years old, I would have guessed that would have been a very minimal risk. I do not know if the hairs may grow back, but you will know in a year or two if the loss was permanent. Although a bit late, I would try to go on the drug finasteride if approved by your doctor.

I would ask your physician the same question you posed to me, as well as his thoughts on possible finasteride (Propecia) therapy.
