A few theories for hair loss...

[baller234]

Since when are eunuchs susceptible to hairloss? I have never heard such a thing. Do you have proof? Where are you getting your information from? Castration stops male pattern baldness.

Here is China's last eunuch Sun Yaoting

SLICK BALD

idiot!

Maybe he was taking hormone replacement?

Third Theory. As we have all known, post puberty eunuchs are susceptible to hair loss.

You're confused. Eunuchs are NOT susceptible to male pattern baldness, although they may lose hair due to other causes.

Now does this not establish that it is not testosterone which provokes the hair loss but a combination of both testosterone and estrogen?

No. It's male hormone which induces male pattern balding. Estrogen seems to be protective.

Those who were castrated during their adult age while going through receding hairline still continued with the initial baldness but gradually.

They don't REGROW their lost hair in the front, but further balding is generally halted.

Based on what?

Based on the pioneering work of the great James B. Hamilton, who is still widely quoted to this very day in medical journal studies and articles.

I have accounts of at least 20 eunuch countering your entire premise!!

What are these "accounts" that you're talking about?

Stop confining to science and its idiotic sampling... they all turn out to be insufficient in time anyhow as history finely points out. I am not certain, but there seems to be a confusion? I am referring to post-pubertal eunuchs and all my ensuing theories come from conclusion based on their experiences. So yes, I am also convolved with this sampling data but I allow no exceptions as science so lovingly divulges in.

Let's see what you have that (supposedly) contradicts Hamilton's long, detailed, and still revered early studies on balding, male hormone, and eunuchs.

Studies which amounted to....? What is missing here? Where is Galileo? We could really use a Galileo or Einstein at the moment.

I don't understand what you're saying.

He's saying the answer to male pattern baldness lies in.. astronomy and theoretical physics :dunno:

He's saying his body is full of raging hormones :smack:, and he's not sure which ones to inhibit.

From the sound of it, he's got very high levels of estrogen that made him go into PMS.

I abundantly made myself clear with a layman approach. As to your lack of understanding remains trivial. Endearingly possible that a person of your cavalier might have lost sufficient hope. :bravo:

I shall now excuse myself from this overly coherent site. :innocent:

Out of your eight posts to date, I've understood very little of anything you've said.
