A member asked:
I was taking a medicine for a month that made my testosterone raise and i experienced hair loss so i quit taking it. will my hair grow back?

It should . . .: So let me get this straight. You're a 26yo female who was prescribed testosterone? Hair loss associated w/t is due to excess t being converted into Dht (dihydrotestosterone). Once that level drops back to normal, hair loss should resolve. Of course, hair loss might also be coincidental to another health stressor. Best to chat w/prescribing doc re medication side effects.
