I’ve been on HRT for 3 years now. Over the past couple years I’ve noticed my hairline beginning to recede and hair get thin. Things have really sped up the past 6 months and now I’m super worried. I’ve had long hair which was nice and thick for years and now it’s falling out like crazy.
In my labs my DHT has come back pretty high (128ng/dl. Normal is 16-79) About 6 weeks ago I started a topical finasteride with minoxidil. No improvement or reduction in shedding yet. I waited until now to try it because I was afraid of potential sexual side effects.
Has anyone had success having their hair grow back with any of these things like finasteride etc while on HRT. There is no history of baldness on either side of my family.
I’m thinking the years of high DHT from being on HRT has finally been too much.
Thanks
