Question 1

explain by medical theory!did excessive ejaculation for 2yr like 2to3 time a day in past increase my testosterone levels cause baldness at age 20?

Accepted Answer

DHT causes baldness: So let's try again. Masturbation does not increase testosterone. Masturbation does not cause baldness. Genetics is main reason for male pattern baldness although acute illness, infection, etc can cause thinning hair & patchy loss. Dihydrotestosterone (converted from t) is partially responsible for male pattern baldness. Check out http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/androgenic_alopecia for more info.

Question 2

does weight lifting cause male pattern baldness? from testosterone?

Accepted Answer

Baldness: You list yourself as age 23. At that age testosterone should be normal and you would have no trouble weight lifting. 
If you already have male pattern baldness you should see both your doctor and a dermatologist

Question 3

i'm transman & taking testosterone.how can i prevent from gaining weight & baldness?what dosage should i take?now i take 250ml per 3 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Need supervision: The female to male transition. During this process, transgender men take androgens. This usually stops their monthly periods. Androgens cause women to grow hair on their faces. It makes the clitoris grow. Transgender people should see their doctor every 3 months for the first year of treatment  if not more. Then 1-2 x per year after. The doctor tests the hormone levels to decide appopriate dose.

Question 4

could testosterone therapy cause male pattern baldness?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Testosterone is broken down in body into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estrodiol (E2). Excess T is converted into DHT &amp; E2 above &amp; beyond baseline level. Excess DHT is linked to hair loss such that we use 5ARIs to reduce DHT. Prime examples of 5ARI is Finasteride (Propecia (finasteride) or Proscar). However, lowering DHT can sometimes increase E2, leading to loss of libido, erectile dysfunction &amp; gynecomastia

Question 5

doc say my excessive ejaculation fr 2yrs daily 3 times a day did increase testosterone level high for longer duration causing premature baldness in me?

Accepted Answer

Wrong!: Ejaculation doesn't cause baldness, or blindness or callouses or anything of the sort. It's a genetic thing you inherited from your parents  -- the baldness, that is -- not the ejaculation -- you "come" by that yourself.

Question 6

does weightlifting cause a man to prematurely bald? ive heard that excess testosterone converts to dht which causes baldness?

Accepted Answer

: Highly unlikely that weight lifting will trigger hair loss

Question 7

i have male pattern baldness.do i have to stop bodybuilding because it leads to high testosterone which converts into dht leading to hairfall?

Accepted Answer

Bodybuilding OK: I don't think this is a realistic concern.  Even if you stop bodybuilding your hair is going to do what your heritage dictates.

Question 8

my dr told me if i quit my hrt that i will have a flood of testosterone and will grow hair where i dont want and have male pattern baldness, true?ty

Accepted Answer

ERT cessation: Quitting estrogen replacement therapy will slightly raise the proportion of   testosterone to estrogen in your blood stream and will generally not cause male pattern baldness unless the testosterone values are significantly elevated. That value can  easily be checked by a simple blood test.

Question 9

will seasonale since its a high androgen birth control make hair loss worse?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Seasonalle is not a particualarily high androgen method. And continuous cycling should be helpful

Question 10

will low androgen birth control pills help with hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Birth control pills are effective at regulating the cycle and decreasing acne. They do not usually do much for hair loss.
