I Had Several Hair Transplants — Will Testosterone Therapy Cause Hair Loss?
I am a 53 yr old male who is considering have testosterone therapy. I have male pattern baldness and had several hair transplants,including one in your office in Fort Lee, NJ and one from your colleague in Fort Lee, NJ My hair looks fine now and have had no significant hair loss for years. Will low doses of testosterone cause me to have hair loss?
As we all know, testosterone is converted to DHT, which is the main culprit in male pattern hair loss. There is always a risk, maybe low, that testosterone will cause hair loss since. It may help knowing if there is miniaturization in the remaining hair along the edge where the transplants were placed. Miniaturized hair may be affected by testosterone and DHT.
