Will taking testosterone only cause balding?

[Saoirsecel]

Also is it enough to get a good size/definition by lifting

 

[St. Wristcel]

No, DHT does that.

No, DHT does that.

Does which one lol?

DHT may cause balding, Testosterone will pretty much improve your life in every aspect as long as you’re not super high in T already, which is a very low chance since Jews have decreased our Ts to nada.

If you have the gene for male pattern baldness, then yes, it is likely that exogenous testosterone will lead to miniaturization.

@St. Wristcel is incorrect - all androgens, including testosterone, have the ability to bind to the androgen receptor and cause miniaturization of hair follicles. However, DHT has a far larger affinity for the receptor, so it generally dominates this effect. That being said, injecting exogenous testosterone is guaranteed to result in higher DHT levels due to homeostasis (in this case from 5-alpha-reductase). Without taking precautions (i.e. finasteride), you can definitely expect to experience some degree of balding given that you have the gene for MPB. Even with finasteride, the enhanced T levels on their own could also cause some damage to your hair follicles, although much less dramatic than if it were converted to DHT.

Testosterone converts into DHT

 

[penis3]

Test converts into DHT^^

pls rope before giving out such shit advice

and Testosterone by itself also causes hair loss

 

[Amnesia]

live fast, bald young

Fuck i think creatine made my hairless recess so im probably have the genes

Creatine doesnt make u loose hair

 

[Deleted member 7651]

Depends on how sensitive your hair is to androgen hormones

 

[Bewusst]

Whether you’ll experience hair loss or not is highly dependent on 5-alpha reductase activity and, most importantly, androgen receptor gene methylation status in your hair follicles. If the latter remains fine, your hairline will stay fine.

Huh? I never ate vegan food in my life

 

[RG90]

If u gonna go down that road i would recommend dutasteride since it will block both type 1 and type 2 DHT. Finasteride only blocks type 1.

Creatine doesnt make u loose hair

IIRC creatine increases the amount of free testosterone (i.e. liberating T from sex hormone binding globulin) which allows more of it to be converted into DHT.

 

[Saoirsecel]

Is there a drug to block dht or that doesnt even make sense? Besides finesterine

 

[MewingJBP]

yes, test also can cause balding but it's much less dangerous to hair than dht. If you blast a lot of test even with dht inhibitors you can still lose hair

 

[Pumanator]

Yeah definitely. Raise in DHT and test increases hairloss. Get on a hairloss treatment plan and you should be fine, depending on the dose.

 

[Yo momma]

im not sure if the effects are permanent but i met a guy online who took test and he went from nw0 to nw2 but once he got off of it his hairline went back to normal eventually. But thats just anecdotal evidence as far as im aware
