question from a user
I don't have hair loss genetics but my hair is thinning. Can low testosterone be the cause for that?
AlphaMD's Answer
In some cases yes. It is more common that extremely high Testosterone converting into DHT causes hair loss, but the goal therapeutic doses should put you below that into a "sweet spot". There's also good treatments with topical finasteride mixed with the active ingredient in Rogaine which can help.
