GlossaryTestosterone

hormone that regulates male traits and reproductive functions

Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced in the testes in men and in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. It plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive tissues, the promotion of secondary sexual characteristics like increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair. Additionally, testosterone influences mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.

community Testosterone plummet after starting fin

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 14 upvotes 2 months ago

Finasteride is unlikely to cause a drop in testosterone; it typically increases it by preventing conversion to DHT. The testosterone level drop is likely due to timing of injections or other factors, not finasteride.

community Can testosterone alone cause hair loss even after nuking DHT?

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 5 months ago

Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.

community Testosterone and Estradiol levels on 1 mg/day dutasteride

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 43 upvotes 9 months ago

A 30-year-old man experienced significant hair regrowth and improved libido after using finasteride and dutasteride for androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse effects. He plans to reduce dutasteride dosage when trying to conceive and has been using topical minoxidil since 2015.

community Testosterone's Role In Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 1 year ago

DHT is essential for androgenetic alopecia, not testosterone. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride reduce DHT, halting hair loss.

community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

in Research/Science 53 upvotes 2 years ago

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.
