The thing to do would be to try Propecia ( Finasteride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) If it is from a build-up of DHT, then Propecia would stop the hair loss.
The thing to keep in mind though is that if it really is masturbation causing DHT buildup, then the genetics for hair loss were already there and just accelerated by that DHT increase. It is/was going to happen anyway. If the Propecia doesn't have any effect, then it's not DHT.
Did the doctor consider something as simple as stress? How are your stress levels? That can cause hair loss as well. |
He did ask me If I'm always stressed out, and I said I do, so he knows it. He gave minoxidil that I have to apply to my head everyday? Does that work like Propecia too? He also gave me grape seed extract to inhibit DHT.
My hair loss has been pretty sudden. I'm not going bald, but I don't want to. It's worrying. It's a nightmare to me, especially since hair is essential to me.
Thank you very much for responding, I would also take only this hair loss issue to a more appropriate sub section on psych central, if someone could guide me, it'd be great.
