Low dose thyroid + Low dose Bio Identical progesterone +/- Low dose hydrocortise (5 mg) may help in the male patient. Regarding the female patient her age and menstrual history is of prime importance.

Hi Doc. My concern is about using mesterolone in females. Why should we worried of aromatization in females? Estrogen surely promotes hair growth in females. All the causes of hairloss may not be solely due to hormonal issues. What do you think about using Estrogen in this patient? Secondly, what about the sleep pattern and the menstrual history? We may get some clues there. Vitamin A, D,E and B12 defeciencies , if present should also be corrected, I guess.
