Title: Hair loss and Low Testosterone
Post by: Miss Kerry on August 14, 2014, 07:14:41 AM
Hi There.  It is my first time on any forum.  I 'm M2F 41 years of age and had my SRS 21 years ago.  I am currently taking Premarin and Cyproterone Acatate daily and my hair has been thinning for years increasing at the rate of knots this last year.  Had all the blood tests which were supposed to be ok and normal was put on propecia last year and made it worse so I stopped that, just had some more blood tests done and it says my testosterone levels are low 0.7 nmol, my GP says this is good as I don't want testosterone because this will cause the hair loss??? but i'm losing my so quickly now not only at the temples but across the front now which is getting me very down I always had a good head of hair and have had to have it cut really short to hide the fact.  Has anyone else experience this before any advice would be appreciated as I don't know if my GP is on the ball where Trans issues are concerned.

Thanks
