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?
