Increase Testosterone & Lower Oestrogen

I'm wondering how much effect testosterone has on a man.

I'm 23. Testosterone has a great effect on a man. It can also be the bane of your existence for a while. Here's why, and my story:

7-8 months ago I started hitting the gym really hard. Got in the best shape of my life, the body of god basically.

2-4 months ago, I started losing my hair rapidly. Went from a norwood 2, to a norwood 2-3.5 in about 2 months. There was incredible pain associated with it. Testosterone is somewhat to blame. If you are genetically disposed to male pattern baldness, upping your testosterone will play right into this genetic disposition.

Here's what I can say though to alleviate any concerns that you may have about that, as I was literally freaking out for a while, and my hair is much much thinner now in literally just a couple months.

Hair loss is naturally reversible without any "snake oil," including the snake oil that is sold by Pharma. MPB is honestly the biggest bull shit I've ever heard in my entire life.

MPB is caused by restriction of subcutaneous blood flow to the scalp. This has been clinically stated in the past couple years over and over, despite Pharma saying it has to do with DHT resistant hairs. MPB is not really genetic in regards to your hair genetics, but rather your bone genetics. These bone genetics impact the environment which hair lives in, and the bone growth is essentially isolated to the MPB region. It also makes no sense that some hairs are resistant and others are not unless you take a look at the environment. For instance, two muscle cells, separated by 1 mm, do not express different genes. There are no cells of the same type that express different genes unless they are in a different environment; they contain the same genetic material always.

That is what causes the pattern of baldness. If you start upping your testosterone, you create more DHT (which is what causes MPB) because there is more free-T in your system.

DHT also is one of the primary regulators of "bone remodeling." That is why people who take roids have a significant change in their facial muscles. In MPB prone people (everyone is susceptible due to bone remodeling, including women), this DHT remodels the skulls shape and causes decreased blood flow.

This decreased blood flow causes more DHT accumulation in the area, since DHT/T ratios are drasically in favor of DHT in low oxygen environments. This causes more bone remodeling, and more blood restriction.

Also, when DHT accumulates significantly in an area, it can cause an autoimmune response (causes burning, tingling, redness, rash, called MPB itch in the MPB community and is reported in about 30% of MPB cases), which causes inflammation and once again, reduced blood flow.

Its a cyclical process caused by increased T which in turn causes DHT.

later in life, normal people experience MPB because T naturally declines and DHT naturally increases, but this process is dramatically accelerated due to working out. That is a simple fact.

Luckily, there are tons of studies coming out right now that can help you reverse this without drugs.

If you're working out, realize that you are literally working out your entire body, except this area of the skull which has poor blood circulation. If you start stretching these muscles now, and building them with what they call "scalp exercises," hair regrowth is extremely possible according to recent clinical studies.

If you have any doubts about the above, realize they just figured out that injecting botox into MPB patients in the MPB region causes hair growth in virtually all cases, and a significant improvement in 75% of all cases. This accurately pinpoints that MPB is not a genetic condition in terms of hairs being resistant and hairs not being resistant, but rather has to do with blood restriction and the musculature of the face.

Start working out your face muscles as well, and you'll never have this problem. Some people will claim that "scalp massagers have been on the market for years" and have not worked. This is completely true, and that is because scalp massagers do not causes subcutaneous blood vessel growth, but rather just move blood around, which is beneficial, but not for growing these blood vessels, which is clearly the problem. That is why minoxidil works; it is a vasodiolator. It is also why minoxidil doesn't work for everyone; sometimes it is not that the vessels are restricted, but rather that the follicle is detached from its blood supply, which a vasodiolator won't fix.

Working out muscles causes VEGF release in the area around the muscle, including subcutaneoustissue. VEGF is the primary regulator of blood vessel growth/repair. By releasing VEGF in your head, you can effectively regrow the hair by repairing the blood vessel growth. This has been studied extensively and many doctors in my region have completely changed their ideologies about MPB despite big Pharma's insistence that it's genetic. The whole thing is a fucking ploy that makes them tons of money. Its why they still claim that they don't know why minoxidil works, when clearly is has everything to do with blood supply. Its also why immuno-suppressors cause hairgrowth in MPB patients that are experience inflammation in the area. It also why botox injections work (this one's the last nail in the coffin).

If you would like an indepth analysis of all the above, I have written a article on a hairloss forum that has gained a lot of attention recently. I can post my research here which contains citations from reputable medical journals verifying all of the above.

""Would highly appreciate an explanation on these things, there is no definite answer out there on google. One site says Oestrogen is good for a man/normal another says it makes you a little bitch. I don't know what to believe.""

Both are somewhat correct. Estradiol is necessary for males to maintain a healthy hormonal balance, but when estradiol is too high or too low, problems will occur.

If it's too low, symptoms such as achy joints, lethargy, ED, long term bone density issues, etc., will occur.

If it's too high, symptoms such as intense mood swings, puffy nipples/gyno, ED, etc., will occur.

I naturally have low testosterone, and I want to know if going on steroids had any significant changes in your life and your mental well being/masculinity.

If your levels are low enough (or close enough that you can manipulate them inside the threshold) you could qualify for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).

The FAQs of /r/steroids, /r/Steroidsourcetalk are great places for info and links to solid studies.
