Does too much testosterone cause hair loss?

Lately, I've started noticing some hair thinning, and it's making me worried. I've also heard that having high testosterone can sometimes lead to hair loss. Is there a connection between too much testosterone and losing hair?

Oh, I have heard this happens to men, but does too much testosterone cause hair loss in women too? I have PCOS and my hair has been thinning a lot lately, so I was wondering if it's connected.

Actually yaar, it's not the testosterone itself but its conversion into DHT that shrinks hair follicles. So if you are genetically prone to baldness, high T will definitely speed up your hair fall. Better check with a derm.

Haan, testosterone ki wajah se hair fall badhta hai. Agar aap gym ke liye alag se supplements le rahe ho toh turant band karo. Normal healthy diet khao, aur hair thinning ke liye doctor se sahi scalp lotion likhwa lo.

Haan bhai, bilkul karta hai! High testosterone jab DHT mein convert hota hai toh hair line peeche hone lagti hai, aur ye kafi normal genetic cheez hai. Faltu ke online hair oil lagane ke badle seedha dermatologist ko dikhao na.
