Use of Maca Root after a HT?

[heir2b]

I just started gym 2 months after my HT, and I read a clinical study about creatine increasing DHT levels in some rugby players.

 

Study details can be found at:

Also increasing testosterone levels apparently does not increase DHT levels, but a decrease in testosterone, as men age, can lead to an increase in DHT. So testosterone is good for hairloss??

 

On the other hand, I heard maca root is used as an alternative to creatine, and also helps with reducing hairloss as well.

 

 

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Hey again Heir2b,

 

Depending on what you're doing, I wouldn't advise going to the gym so soon after your surgery.

 

Weight training or any exercise that puts presure on the scar is not recommended until atleast 6-9 months after, as you run the risk of stretching. (if you had a strip procedure)

Maxxy, I had FUE. My HT doc said light exercise is ok 1 month after- I been keeping my workouts to less than 10-15 mins, and then showering immediately to prevent sweating/infection.

 

If you have any other thoughts on this or the maca root, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I've never heard of maca root and FUE isn't my strong point sorry. I'm sure some FUE patients will chime in with some advice.
