Im 38yrs old and suppressed my whole life until last year i started transition. Im on gender clinic list waiting for treatment. Meanwhile im trying to erase everything male about me, make up and finily growing my hair and i see im losing my hair and before ive ever had chance to have long hair. Thanks for advice

[con._.artist]

Cant wait for the female to male version of this! Currently what I'm going through and my main concern is that fin has the potential to restart the menstrual cycle, which is not wanted obviously. But I can't take topical minoxidill due to two very affectionate cats, and I believe minoxidill is fatal for cats. And minoxidill doesn't prevent further loss just regrows present loss. Topical fin might be an option as well as the caffeine shampoo I've been using to help strengthen my hair (so far i think its helping but not sure), will be talking to my doctor soon about it :)

wow, i love this channel. this was a great reassurance and help to me and my situation, and i just think it’s very thoughtful that you guys made a video about this specific side of things that most channels talking about hair loss don’t address. thank you! this overall was a very sensitive yet informed take and i can’t stress enough how important that is, especially considering how here in the US many of us trans folk are without solid healthcare and rely on professional advice through videos like these to ease our minds until we can get in to our specialists. the empathy goes a long way and y’all are doing something very important making videos like these widely available

Thanks for answering this topic as a trans woman who’s asked in the past! My biggest questions are 1) whether i should ever stop taking finasteride if i already take spironolactone and estrogen? 2) are the estrogen routes of administration better or worse for hair retention? 3) what target T and E2 levels would theoretically halt male pattern baldness 4) does progesterone affect hair loss

I am closeted to my family, they still believe me to be a cis straight woman but I am a transmasculine nonbinary person who wishes to microdose testosterone one day. Men in both sides of my family tend to have thick, coarse hair with minimal receding, which comforts me, but hair loss still worries me. I am blessed with naturally thick hair that grows fast and it is my favorite aspect of my appearance. If I lost it I think I wouldn't be able to function, as vain as that sounds.

Thank you so much! Transitioned 20 years ago and just recently got some balding spots on odd places now when past 60 years old. This channel have helped me so much and I want you to know it. Love from Sweden!

Just really wonderful to see trans specific stuff, thank you so much

[matijagarojevic]

Thank you for your vieos. Can you please do part 2 about female to male transgender baldness? What about continuing with depo testosterone after hair transplant?

[Schlimaazl]

I have met people who have transitioned from female > male and they have started to get pattern baldness

[dianatrif]

I thought that people who transition from male to female improve their hair or at least stay the same with the hair, I didn’t know they could experience hairloss.
From female to male, yes, it seems logical because of the boost in the hormone testosterone.

I hope everyone can find a treatment that works for their hairloss.

Doctor, can you please do a video about body hair for hair transplant to scalp.

I've been applying minoxidil 5% topically for 6 months. I had some gains in the first five months, but I'm beginning to lose a considerable amount of hair in the last month even without stopping the application. What could probably be the cause?

[RenCres]

Honouring the channel’s name, covering every single topic regarding hairloss 👏🏼

[kyletv]

hi can you give advice or make a video having seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss

[khaledzurikat]

Can you please talk about Botox treatment?

[Nick-kfio]

Love this topic, and you doctors for discussing it! Also wishing a blessed day on everyone before also the nasty, dehumanizing comments start 🙏

[Bathrezz]

Why do you have a youtube channel when you don't reply to any comments

[mindverse]

If a transwoman is already on finasteride and and testosterone blockers and their hair is shedding, what is causing it, it is it possible for this to happen
