Reader Believes Estrogen is Cure to Hair Loss

Okay, this might sound ignorant, but I believe the only natural cure for hair loss is Estrogen. This is why a lot of women don’t lose their hair as bad as men, because they primarily carry the Estrogen hormone. So if scientists or whatever were to reverse the tables when actually dealing with Male Pattern Baldness and how Testosterone (the male hormone)converts into DHT, then it’s obvious that the male individual lacks the estrogen hormone which is a key factor of healthy hair growth.

For instance, if a man were to get castrated, he will grow a full head of hair because of the fact that his male reproductive organs were cut off. And having a penis and testicals is a key factor in producing testosterone in men, thus having less estrogen in their systems.

Yeah, I know this might sound ridiculous, however, I think that a man who suffers from MPB should take estrogen injections to the scalp in hopes that it will wake up his dead hair follicles and produce new ones, thus, have a full head of healthy hair. What do you think?

Oh, and I enjoy the blog…Much success and God bless…

You are partly right. Estrogen does protect against hair loss in women, but not in men who have much higher testosterone levels. More testosterone means more DHT and for male genetically impacted hair follicles, that is death to some of the hair in the pattern of balding. Having the testicles removed will save you from more hair loss, and although you can keep your penis (as that is not part of the hair loss formulae), I wouldn’t recommend this route.
