Low Hormone Levels and Hair Loss

Thanks for all the insights. I began worrying about how loss at 21. 6 years later, it’s no longer a fear. It’s a certainty. In the past years I’ve spent researching hair loss, I’ve found your site provides the most honest and reliable advice and information anywhere. It might not always be comforting, but at least I know it’s backed by experienced professionals.

A while back ago I saw a physician after hearing hormone levels may affect hair loss. I learned my testosterone levels and HGH levels were extremely low. This doesn’t suprise me, because I can probably still pass for a 16 year old.

But if this were the case, DHT shouldn’t be the cause of my thinnning hair, right? I’ve read HGH therapy can grow thicker hair, but I’ve also read the opposite.

Also, my hair isn’t thinning in the same pattern as most of the pictures I’ve seen online. It’s thinning equally from front to back. Is this normal, and do you think hormonal therapy might be a viable option to regrow hair in a case like mine?

– Thanks again

HGH (Human Growth Hormone) therapy is a known cause of hair loss. I think that you are looking for therapies, solutions, and causes in the wrong places. I do not have the luxury to examine your hair loss pattern, but you may not have a typical male pattern hair loss. If you are concerned about hair loss and a definitive diagnosis, you need to see a good doctor who can view you scalp hair under a hair densitometer and map your scalp for miniaturization patterns. It is impossible to give you a medical opinion on the cause of your hair loss without a proper examination.
