Re: AI and Hair Loss

I dont know if there is much you can really do except hair transplantation like in men. Women of course carry the baldness gene but the estrogen proponderence protects them from the balding effects of Dihyhdrotestosterone or DHT. When you go on an estrogen blocker the baldness gene will be manifest if you carry it.

Propecia (Finasteride ) blocks the formation of DHT from testosterone. Its an option but I dongt know its effect on breast cancer. As Propecia is an anti-androgen of sorts it may well have a positive action. Not sure. Speak with the oncologist.
