unexplained hairloss
Hello I am a twenty year old female. I have an unexplained hairloss. I've been to many doctors. They've all said they don't know what it is. I've had my thyroid checked and it is fine. Finally, I got my Testosterone total level checked. It came out low. Then the doctor is still not sure what it is. He thinks it might be alopecia, but not very sure about that. I would like to know if anyone knows about this condition or any type suggestions. Thank you.
I'm sorry I really don't know too much about this subject but I have heard that the more testosterone (a particular type of testosterone hormone) you have, the more prone to baldness (in men & women) you would be. But since your testosterone test came back low (I'm not sure how "low" is low), I'm not sure what it could be (maybe that's why the Drs are stumped, too). But I did find an article online that may interest you:

I don't know if this article will help but it may shed some light on the possibility of alopecia. Good luck & I hope you find your answer.
