Men with normal hair loss have neither more nor less testosterone in their blood than men who retain the hair on their heads.

Usually, hair loss and later baldness in men is a condition that comes on insidiously over the years. One cannot expect a sudden improvement – only a slow deterioration. At some point, however, the hair loss may stop, after which one no longer loses the hair.

There are currently 2 approved preparations that can stop hair loss and may even cause new hair growth as long as you use the means:

Minoxidil solution that can directly stimulate hair growth. Must be used morning and evening (available over the counter)
Finasteride tablets that reduce the formation of the growth inhibitory substance dihydrotestosterone in the scalp. One tablet daily (prescription required).

The treatment must be taken regularly for at least 6-12 months before you can see if it works. The earlier the treatment starts, the better.
