“Can anabolic steroids cause hair loss?”
My boyfriend takes anabolic steroids to help build his muscles, but I found an article that said that these steroids can cause hair loss. Is this true?

yes, anabolic steroids can cause hair loss or male pattern baldness. some of this is the role of genetics. As long as he keeps his testosterone levels in an acceptable age (30 year old is good target range). I would recommend creams that allow a more precise dosing than once weekly injections and no pain and abscess. Follow me on IG or FB or Twitter as Kyle Rootsaert or the Unscripted Pharmacist.
Yes, anabolic steroids have the potential to cause hair loss. Anabolic steroids accelerate the production of the hormone DHT, which is the primary hormone involved in male pattern baldness. Propecia decreases scalp and serum DHT thus preventing male-pattern balding. Therefore, he can discuss that option with his doctor.
