Is adrenal fatigue the cause of my hairloss?

Hello Everyone
I am 26 year old male. I am diffusing thinning at the top with some recession at the temples. One of my two uncles from my mother's side is diffuse thinning but I only started noticing when he was 40 years of age. My dad has hair loss at the crown and that also after 60 years of age. My brother 5 years older has full head of hair.


I started to loose hair a year ago. In three weeks, I lost more than half of my hair and couldn't even dare to wet my hair anymore. Initialy I thought it was telogen effluvium because I had started to exercise a lot (cycling everyday and futsal 2hrs every sunday) and loose my weight but the hair seems to thin only on top of my head. Along with the hair loss I had very itchy and oily scalp. Ketoconozole has reduced the need to itch somewhat.


I have a few questions. If it is excess DHT that is making my hair loss then shouldn't I be more energetic? Cause now I am total wreck. I can't even walk every day. I have completely left the exercises I did as I can't seem to do any thing. I have read about Adrenal Fatigue and most of the symptoms match. I have always been weak. Can this be the cause of my hairloss? What if I start to take finasteride now? Will I have a complete breakdown? What should I do treat my hairloss?

If you have male pattern baldness than you should take finasteride 1mg daily or 1.25mg

Adrenal fatigue is a side effect of finasteride which I already have. Wouldn't it be worse?

Go to a doctor and confirm that you have adrenal fatigue. I doubt that you do. You are most likely losing your hair due to male pattern baldness unless your hair loss is patchy or throughout the sides and back of your head as well as the top.

Yeah it is male pattern baldness and this fatigue I have seems to accelerate it. Every time I am in stress, my head heats up and scalp itches like crazy. keto has helped a lot but not enough.
