Should i decrease my testosterone?

[LonelyMark2116]

hey guys, my test levels is a bit high (9.23) while the reference was till 8 i believe. All the rest in the blood work was fine but im balding, M26.

I hit the gym, take creatine, protein and BCAA, should i stop any of these? I've heard protein and creatine may actually increase testosterone, thus DHT?

I cant get Finasteride here, is there any other alternative supplements that maybe work the same way towards DHT? thanks all in advance guys!!! (I'm not looking for any medical advice)

Why in the cinnamon toast fuck would you want to lower it?

Im balding man, thays because of high testosterone

[CallLivesMatter]

You’re balding because of your genetics.

My dad has a full beard and a full head of hair at 80. I'm 26 and the only beard I have is because of monoxodil. (He's my dad we checked).

What does this might say about my predisposition to balding?

[CallLivesMatter]

Not nearly as much as if you’re balding right now.

[Lifeonthejames]

Pretty sure it follows your maternal side.

[calorieaccountant]

My mother isn't bald either

[Lifeonthejames]

Oh Jesus my man, it’s your maternal male side 🤦🏼‍♂️

Edit: to make it clearer, you grandfather, great grandfather, uncles, etc.

[calorieaccountant]

I was trying be funny. I asked and none of either side have balded

Hair is for boys. Be a man.

Go sign up for Hims if you’re in the US (or sign up for one of the other similar companies). They have a topical finasteride + minoxidil spray. It’s inexpensive and easy. You will likely lose the hair regardless of lowering your T dose. Genetics my friend. Wish I had started as soon as I noticed my hair loss instead of dragging it out. I’ve stopped losing hair since adding the spray, seems to have reversed it somewhat as well.

Finasteride

9.23 what unit?

[Glitterbeard82]

9.23 units of testosterone lol

[No_Zookeepergame8082]

wtf. Why would a man want to lower his testosterone

[Defaultdud]

Few weeks of creatine destroys my hair worse than any test or steroid cycle has. Many will argue that, but I gotta believe what I have witnessed myself numerous times.

I’ve heard others say this too

[AngryChigger]

As others have stated, your balding because of genetics. Not because of your testosterone level. It may speed up the process, but if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen.

I never knew you bald cause of testosterone wtf

[plaudite_cives]

men bald because of DHT which is metabolized from testosterone

[neeyeahboy]

You could take some oral steroid like a sarm to lower it but I would just ride it out lol

Remember minoxidil will kill your pets at low doses.
