So this is what I am puzzling out--
As men age, overall their Testosterone levels drop markedly. I assume that DHT levels also drop (I will do a search to verify this assumption). Yet, many men either start to (or continue to) lose hair.
What is at play here? If DHT is the major culprit in hair loss, why wouldn't hair loss abate or remain a non issue as T and DHT levels plummet?
Posit--could be that test/estrogen level? Could be that aging cells are simply more easily overcome by the impacts of DHT?
Point is that I haven't seen this set of circumstances addressed so far. Is hair loss in aging males fundamentaly different that male pattern baldness in a 25 yr old and IF SO, what are the implications for our treatment protocols?
Any facts/thoughts to add to this??
