The user is experiencing significant hair shedding and suspects it may be due to low serum ferritin levels rather than worsening androgenetic alopecia. They have resumed iron supplementation and are seeking additional solutions to address the shedding.
Improving ironlevels, particularly ferritin, can help with hairline recovery. The user experienced hairline improvement by increasing iron intake through diet changes, without relying on minoxidil.
Dutasteride may affect testosterone levels, leading to high ferritin and ironlevels, which can cause hair loss. High ferritin might be linked to past heavy drinking or hemochromatosis.
Iron supplementation may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Checking ferritin levels is important, as both low and high levels can affect health.
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 ferritin levels due to frequent blood donations may also contribute to hair issues, and the user is working on stabilizing ironlevels.
