Hello,
I'm 21 years old and i have diagnosed with hypogonadism. I have very basic knowledge about this stuff, but hopefully that will change after i spend some more time on the boards.
Basically my hair is falling out in no pattern. Mass amounts of my hair will literally just fall out accompanied by a nasty case of dandruff that i have been treating with a Tea Tree Oil shampoo. I have far less body hair on my legs, chest, feet, and pubic area. I have an extreme cold intolerance located mainly in my hands and feet. My wounds also take a very long time to heal.
I have a diet of raw food (fruit, soaked nuts, veggies) with the exception of a good amount of omega-3's coming from Carlson's Cod Liver Oil.
My Endo prescribed me Testim 1% which i took for about a month, but stopped after i read that the #1 side effect was baldness... Exactly the thing i was worried about most.
After doing some research over at regrowth.com i got tipped off to Bio-Identical Progesterone. What are you guys thoughts on applying this directly to the testes for 19 days on and 7 days off? Is it correct that Progesterone is a precursor to testosterone as well as a natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and an inhibitor of estrogen?
I will absolutely not be doing anything till I make another appointment with a competent endo that knows what he's doing.
If anyone knows a great doctor in orange county don't hesitate to say something
Any input would be really appreciated!
