Could Low Testosterone Be The Cause of My Hair Loss?
Hello doctor! It’s more or less been five years that I’m having some different negatives psychosomatic symptoms: tiredness, spine ache, depression and reduced sexual pleasure. I’m thinking that they could be caused by low testosterone. The problem is that at the same time, I’m having moderate hair loss. The question is: could a lack of testosterone cause my hair loss? Thanks.
Low testosterone could lead to hair loss (because androgenic hair loss in men is due to the genetic predisposition not the hormone level), but I couldn’t say if that is the cause of your loss. Stress could also cause hair loss (if it is in a non pattern/ diffuse), and the stress could be brought on by your psychosomatic issues.
Can you elaborate on why low testosterone can cause hair loss? I always thought it was high t that was an issue with hair. I have never heard low t can lead to thinning hair.
Thanks dr.
That is a statement that absolutely needs explaining–why could low testosterone lead to hair loss?
