Is there a connection between testosterone and baldness?

testosterone itself doesn't cause baldness but testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone with an enzyme called five Alpha reductase and that DHT actually does cause hair loss so there are some people who will take medications like propa you'll see which is the generic finasteride which can be taken to prevent that conversion by inhibiting the enzyme 5 Alpha reductase now it works quite well for hair loss and prostate growth but but it can also cause sexual difficulties particularly loss of libido so I caution you to if you are having any of those issues and you're taking that medication it may be a reason to stop it
