    GlossarySerum Testosterone

    measures testosterone levels in the blood

    Serum testosterone refers to the measurement of testosterone levels in the blood. This test, often called a Testosterone Blood Test or Total Testosterone (TT), is used to assess hormonal balance, diagnose conditions like hypogonadism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and evaluate issues related to sexual development, fertility, and certain types of hair loss such as androgenetic alopecia.

      Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.

      community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

      in Research/Science  81 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
