Ok first of all I am not saying a lack of estrogen in men causes "male baldness pattern", I was saying a complete lack of estrogen in a man could although cause hair loss, does that seem feasible? I am not here to shoot people down but rather learn why would no estrogen in a women create hair loss but not a man. I guess some of the information I have been reading could have been interpreted wrong.
So your saying FSH is not your level of estrogen in men but rather contributes to Seroili cells? and Estrogen in men does not play in any role a way to protect hair in a man even if the level is low. Sorry that is put in simplified terms but this is new to me as I am not a professional. May the imbalance of the hormonal system by estrogen can cause hair loss in men? From what you said I am getting FSH is not estrogen in men? so men have no estrogen at all? I'm confused now
Sorry if I was rude by posting that to Mokelee but I feel there is allot more to be said here to people who asks these questions, I dont like yes no and I feel the answers you provided were very sufficient or atleast a head to start to learn more. I think maybe the thing I am missing is men could live with little to no estrogen and function normal with normal hair growth?
It does say Women in the paragraph. I don't have a comprehension problem but maybe the author was not explicit enough.
So the information below is subjected to just women?
Apart from thyroxin, estrogen and testosterone, there are many other hormones that can cause hair loss. FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) stimulates the production of estrogen and GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone) in turn stimulates the production of FSH. In fact, the human body produces about 50 hormones and as their interaction is highly complex, it is difficult to guess right away what in the hormonal imbalance causes hair loss."
I got that from http://www.hairlossadvance.com/hormones.html
You have to understand it's hard to read between the lines for men and women where some information is presented this way it is and I am very sorry for the wall of text but I feel like very good information is being presented by Charon who can actually explain this to me.Can someone give me better insight to the above?
I also looked this up if you read at the top they say DHT is an androgen.

Now here is where I think we got confused with the male baldness, not to stray from the topic because I was under the impression the male balding gene or DHT may not be able to be blocked by FSH or estrogen but they both to me looked like an anti-androgen (FSH and Finasteride)

sorry to get off on the wrong foot but i come from a very specific field myself maybe not medical but I appreciate answers and not one liners or no information like your post. I think that people even without my skill set have the ability to comprehend some things even without degrees and certification.
I would appropriately respond to your post but I rather not stray from topic . I apologize and will take a different approach next time.
