I have seen discussions relating diffuse thinning to non-male pattern baldness related causes. One re-occurring theory is that there is some relation between thyroid condition and diffuse thinning. This is interesting, but I took a look at the symptoms for thyroid problems and I do not fit in that class.
One health problem (which I haven't treated) that I do have is a very poor GI system. I am one of those people who has to move my bowels immediately after every meal. Anyway, i mention this, not to gross you out, but because I also saw someone mention that there might be a link between GI problems and hairloss. Anyone see how this problem might cause hairloss? One theory would be that I am not retaining enough nutrients which might promote hair growth.
Real quick, my hair situation is as follows: 27 years old. Been losing hair steadily for about 5 years. Hairline is perfect, just an overall loss of density which isn't noticeable, but mainly because of my hairstyle (buzz cut), it would look thinner if i grew it out. Have been on propecia/proscar for over 4 years and minoxidil off and on, but on for the past 7 months. I also have been taking dutasteride (along with the proscar) for the past 2 months. Still shed like a dog.
