Gym Workout effect on Hairloss

[qvarnis]

Hi Everyone,

 

A question I forgot to put up in my last post. Im sure alot of us work out/lift weights etc, I was wondering what effect this would have on hairloss. What I do know is that when you workout and are trying to increase your muscle mass your body produces more testosterone to aid this process, my guess is that allows more to be converted to the bad stuff (couldnt remember the name.. hang on (i looked on my propecia box) dihydrotestosterone DHT). So if more is available more will be converted?

 

Im not sure of the answer... does anyone know?

I was told by my doc (Glen Charles) that workouts could begin with no adverse effects a couple weeks after the procedure

From my experience-- Workout lightly-- 50% of normal after 2 weeks. Then 4weeks increase to normal workouts (not heavy but normal/average). At 12 weeks, start working in heavy/strenous workouts. The reason is the donor scar is still healing up to 3-4 months and can strech up to that time. I;ve followed this route and never had a problem.

This same question was discussed in another thread recently:

 

Thread concerning working out and DHT.

 

I would love to get some physician feedback on this matter.
