Low Testosterone and Low Luteinizing Hormone Levels
Can low testosterone and low Leutinizing Hormone levels contribute to hair loss? I am a 30yr old male, I have low testosterone and low LH levels and I am suffering from total head/hair miniaturization! I have no balding or recession, just total miniaturization all over my head (also my side burns are thinning and my facial hair-beard/chin hair is changing texture (thinning) and color! is there any correlation? thank you
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone, is one of the many causes of androgenic hair loss when the genetics are there. I am curious to know where and how you were diagnosed with miniaturization of your hair. If indeed you have total miniaturization of hair, then you may have a condition known as Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA), a condition we’ve written about in published medical journals. More importantly, you need to follow up with your doctor to make sure you do not have any other medical conditions that may be contributing to your generalized hair loss.
In regards to the thread of Low testosterone and low LH……..
Doesnt hair miniaturization happen between growth cycles? When an old hair is shed then a new finer/thinner hair replaces it, correct? The way my hair is progressing is that it is miniaturizing as it is growing… I have no shedding, my hair is continuing to grow as it miniaturizes… is that normal?
