The user is experiencing significant hair shedding and suspects it may be due to low serumferritinlevels rather than worsening androgenetic alopecia. They have resumed iron supplementation and are seeking additional solutions to address the shedding.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments without using Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride, focusing on addressing hormonal issues and low ferritinlevels. Suggestions include consulting a hematologist, checking for vitamin D deficiency, thyroid issues, anemia, and considering serums with copper peptides.
Dutasteride may affect testosterone levels, leading to high ferritin and iron levels, which can cause hair loss. High ferritin might be linked to past heavy drinking or hemochromatosis.
The user experienced hair shedding after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and is considering using DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride to address potential DHT-related hair loss. Low ferritinlevels due to frequent blood donations may also contribute to hair issues, and the user is working on stabilizing iron levels.
Iron supplementation may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Checking ferritinlevels is important, as both low and high levels can affect health.
