Hi mate,

Yes, there are various treatments to regrow hair and prevent hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia. I can tell you quite a lot about this, as I have personal experience and have spent a long time studying the topic.

First, I'd like to know a few things. What's the reason you're interested in this?
A. You're using or planning to use steroids and want to know how to prevent hair loss, but you haven't experienced any yet?
B. You're not using steroids and not planning using it and don't have any hair loss, but you're worried about it?
C. Whether you're using steroids or not, you've already started experiencing androgenetic alopecia?
D. You're planning to start using steroids, but you've already started experiencing androgenetic alopecia, and you're worried it might get worse.

Ich nehme Testo und merke wie ich immer mehr einzelne Haare verliere und sie dünner werden das man schon die Kopfhaut sieht und die geheimratsecken haben auch schon auf sich aufmerksam gemacht

Then the situation becomes much clearer. It looks like androgenetic alopecia is something you probably can't avoid in your case, but testosterone will simply speed it up.

Did your father or grandfathers have baldness or receding hairlines? That can give you a rough idea of what to expect.

If you can roughly determine how advanced the androgenetic alopecia is in you and your relatives, I could help you assess your chances of successfully fighting it.

I have read in several places that it is inherited on the mother's side, so the father's baldness is not predicting much, but the maternal grandfather can give a pretty good picture. I'm also very much interested in solutions, we use topical minoxidil but not diligently enough.

Baldness isn't inherited only from the mother's side. However, one of the most studied genes associated with hair loss, AR (the androgen receptor gene), is inherited through the mother. This gene is located on the X chromosome, and men inherit their X chromosome from their mother. That's why men inherit the variants of the AR gene that affect hair follicle sensitivity to androgens specifically from their mother.

BUT male pattern baldness is a polygenic condition, meaning that the predisposition to it is determined by many different genes inherited from both the mother and the father. Many other genetic variants associated with baldness are located on regular, non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). Men inherit these from both parents. That's why having a bald father is also a significant risk factor.

In a large 2018 study involving more than 205,000 men, researchers identified hundreds of genetic regions associated with male pattern baldness. A significant proportion of these are located on autosomes, which are inherited from both parents.

So:
- If your maternal grandfather is bald, your risk may be higher.
- If your father is bald, your risk may also be higher.
- If both have thick hair, that doesn't guarantee their son won't experience hair loss.
- If both are bald, that still doesn't mean their son will inevitably go bald.

If your relatives — your father and grandfathers — didn't have androgenetic alopecia, that doesn't guarantee you won't develop it. But in that case, it's difficult to predict even roughly how far your hair loss might progress.

How old are you, and when did you start losing your hair?

Niemand ist kahl, ich glaub bei mir kommt es wegen testo. Deswegen war meine frage ob finasterid hilft oder was anderes um Haarausfall zu stoppen oder zu reduzieren und die Haare wieder anstrebt zu wachsen jedoch eine dosis zu nehmen damit die Nebenwirkungen so niedrig wie möglich bleiben ich möchte ungern das die Libido abfällt oder das Ejakulatvolulmen so wie das es Auswirkung zur Prostata hat

Jetzt vor kurzem ist es mir aufgefallen paar Monate und ich bin 23 Jahre aber ich neheme testo 1ml alle 5 tage

This is happening because you inherited a genetic predisposition, at least if what you're experiencing is androgenetic alopecia. It's also possible that your hair started falling out because of stress, but in that case, you'd notice hair falling out all over your head rather than just in certain areas.

You can get a trichoscopy to check whether you have signs of androgenetic alopecia. It can help determine this with a fairly high degree of accuracy.

Testosterone isn't the actual cause — it just accelerated the process. If you block the conversion to DHT with finasteride, you can significantly slow down hair loss, but there's no guarantee, especially since you're only 23.

I started noticing androgenetic alopecia when I was 27, and by 30 I cut my hair short because of it. But by that point, I'd already been using steroids for 6 years, including trenbolone and high doses.

So if you're going to try to slow down your hair loss, it's possible you won't go as bald as you otherwise would. But I've read a lot of stories on Reddit, including photos, from guys who tried everything they could to keep their hair. You'll probably have to put a lot of effort into it because finasteride alone won't be enough. Then there's minoxidil, either tablets or topical solutions, followed by various experiments with topical antiandrogens, hair transplants, dermarollers, and so on. I've been through all of this myself.

If your hair is really that important to you, I just want to warn you that this will most likely be a long-term battle, and one where you're essentially fighting against your own biology. So it won't be easy.

As for the risks, finasteride does have potential side effects. How common or serious they are is still a subject of debate. We can discuss that too.
