I am a 57 year old male. Recently I have been under a lot of stress. Have been taking a topical testosterone ointment off and on, HGH injected of and on. Have noticed a great increase in hair loss lately. Have been taking Saw Palmetto as a DHT Blocker. Would I benefit from beginnning Propecia or am I too old to benefit from it. I am going to get a Hair transplant with NHI in the future but now just want to stop the hair loss. Thank you.
It appears that you have many reasons for hair loss (stress, testosterone, HGH injections). Clearly a good DHT blocker like Propecia will be far more valuable than Saw Palmetto which is very weak, if effective at all. Still, the combination of contributing factors may not be enough to stop the hair loss. Visit me and let’s talk.

I keep reading that stress is not a factor in Alopecia Universalis but my daughter who just turned 20 began losing her hair a year ago, a few months after her sister died in a car accident and now is totally bald, lost most body hair and eyebrows. We all know it is from the shock and trauma…why doesn’t the medical profession accept that and what is the prognoisis now that it has happened?
i am a 23 years of age. i noticed that on the top of my head there is balding spot. can i delayed the hir loss cause im too young to be bald
