Title: Testrol and hair loss
Post by: Brindle on August 18, 2022, 06:30:07 PM

I have been prescribed Testrol to apply every other day, after 2 months of using it, there has been no difference in libido. Strangely, the areas they say can benefit you have acted in reverse for me. I wasn't fatigued before, but have been. My mood is probably lower rather than lifted, and my hair has been coming out in clumps, which wasn't happening before when I was just on the oestrogen and progesterone. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms?

Hi Brindle

Did you have your free testosterone tested before you started it?
If not, don’t worry, but I think you should get it tested now.

Are you still peri? X

Hi Marchlove,

That’s very odd!

I think you should get tested again.

That said you obviously needed the testosterone so it’s strange your reacting in this way. There’s a imbalance somewhere but not sure what to advise.

Let us know what your results are and I’ll have another think.

Hopefully others will be along x

Yes, it seems that all the benefits of it are working in reverse with me! Ill contact my GP or go back to the menopause clinic. Thanks
