Testosterone Replacement, HGH, and Hair Loss

I’ve been on testosterone replacement for 2 years. I’ve recently had to start (hgh) therapy also. I’ve now noticed hair loss in the front area of my head and in the crown. I don’t know whether to stop all hormone replacement which I apparently need or try taking finasteride? I’m worried about the sexual side effects obviously of finasteride. Seems like a catch 22 to me. Low hormone levels are a danger in themselves but I don’t want to lose my hair. I ‘m sure this is a common problem but would like some thoughts on treatments. I’m 57 years old and just NOW am seeing hair loss. Is there any evidence or data saying that HGH can cause hair loss? It seems like it really got bad when I added that to my therapy 3 months ago?? Thanks for any help or opinions you may have . Regards

HGH and testosterone treatments cause hair loss, big time.

If you are worried about the 1% sexual side effect of taking finasteride, you should understand that the side effect does go away once you stop taking the medication. In other words, if you have androgenic hair loss and want to do something about it, finasteride can only help. If you are one of the minority 1% of the patients who experience the sexual side effect, stop taking it completely or try cutting the pill in half (50% dose). As with all drugs, you should consult your doctor before starting or stopping any medication.

Taking finasteride with HGH and testosterone may help reduce the hair loss effect. For many of our readers, it is important to note that the use of HGH and testosterone is part of an anti-aging routine offered by many doctors. This man did not say why he was taking HGH and testosterone, but many men feel revitalized from its use. Often it is used with aggressive anti-oxidant therapies as well. Most men want to feel years younger and more sexual, and the combination of HGH and testosterone does make this happen. The cost in actual dollars is expensive, but the cost in hair may not be reversible.
