My Testosteron Level Is Low. Should I Take Propecia?

Hey man i looked at your pics from when your hair is wet and i don't see really any evidence of thinning. Let me put it this way, my hair looks way worse than yours wet but when dry id modestly say that i have a pretty good full head of hair, so your hair must be at least equal to if not better than mine when dry. If you want to check out my post and pics go to the thread titled "hair loss drugs and advice" a few below yours in this thread. With regards to your T levels, i would focus more on your quality of life rather than what a lab result tells you. Do you have sexual dysfunction? Prone to depression? Low self esteem? Testosterone can dictate all of these things but it isn't clear cut and dry. In other words you can have lower than normal t but have no symptoms at all.

Try to relax, get your nutrition in order, work out a little bit, drop some weight, sleep well and see how that works. Do not crash diet. This makes hair fall out. Even women lose their hair when they starve themselves. If your hair was stress and/or nutrition related you will notice significant thickening in 3 months.
