DHT Question

[Guest guest]

Two weeks ago I had my 6 month check up with my endro and mentioned

to him that my scalp ofen itched and burned like a mild sun burn

above my temples. I also noted that although male pattern bladness

is not present on eathier side of my family, my hair line seems to

be receeding some.

I have been on TRT for a little over 4 years. I inject 75 mg test.

cypionate once a week and 350 units HCG three times a week.

Thyroid, total testosterone and DHT blood test was taken. Thyroid

is normal, total Test was 650 and DHT was 74. According to the

doctor's assistan who called me with the blood test results, the

referance range for DHT is 25-75 and although my results was at the

high end of normal the doctor wanted to chek it again at my next

visit in 6 months. I faxed a not to my doctor and informed him that

the day that blood was drawn for the test was the seventh day before

my weekly test. injection and was it posible that my DHT was usually

above 75 except just prior to my next injection. My doctor called

me back and agreed that my DHT level may be to high and is

scheduling new test at 3 1/2 days after my next injection.

Here's the problem and my question. My endro stated that

testosterone and DHT are directly related, to lower my DHT level he

may modify (lower) my testosterone dosage. I feel pretty good

maintaining my total T level between 600 - 900 and I really do not

want to change my TRT. The only thing that i had found on the net

to reduce DHT is a medication to reduce prostate enlargement and

propicia (sp?) for hair loss.

Does anyone have any informationor or advise about DHT reduction?

Thanks,

Randy
