The Truth About TRT and Male Pattern Baldness, According to a Urologist
MALE PATTERN BALDNESS, also known as androgenic alopecia, is something that affects a lot of guys—and there is some evidence in particular to suggest that men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are at a higher risk of hair loss.
In a new video on her YouTube channel, urologist Dr. Rena Malik breaks down the scientific connection between TRT and male hair loss. She starts by explaining that there are a wide range of issues and contributory factors in hair loss, including stress, poor nutrition, certain medications, and grooming habits such as tying long hair back into especially tight buns. Genetics also play a huge role here, so looking at your parents and whether they’ve experienced hair loss can be a pretty good initial indicator of whether you may encounter baldness or thinning in the future.
Taking Drugs for Erectile Dysfunction? Do These 5 Things to Get More Bang for Your Buck
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, DEFINED as the inability to sustain an erection that is firm enough for penetrative intercourse, is estimated to affect 322 million men worldwide, and 52% of men over the age of 50. Medications to treat ED are exceedingly popular, with sildenafil (sold under the more commonly known brand name Viagra) being the 157th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States. Despite the wide use of these drugs, many individuals struggle with them being ineffective, while others have concerns about potential side effects, long term consequences, and concerns about dependency. But are these fears founded in reality?
Before delving into the specifics of these medications, it’s essential to understand the basic physiology of an erection. The process begins with arousal, which can be triggered by seeing, smelling, hearing or touching someone or something that you find erotic. This leads to the production of nitric oxide from your blood vessels and nerves, staring the ignition for your erection.

Also: Talk with your close friends about it. It does help and as stated: ED is very common amount young men, but we just tend not to talk about it. I ended up getting ED after (and during) an abusive relationship and its taken YEARS to get back to normal
