Dehydrotestosterone is another term for dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone. DHT plays a role in male sexual development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics. It is also implicated in the development of conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness.
The most popular way of restoring men's hair is the product Rogaine which is available at your local Walmart or Target retail stores. You can also receive a variety of medical operations to stimulate the regrowth of hair cells. Another FDA-approved solution in a form of pills is Propecia. It works by inhibiting DHT or dehydrotestosterone, the hormone that causes hair loss. An effective but costlier method is to have a hair restoration surgery or typically known as hair transplant. It is a surgical procedure for implanting hair follicles into the scalp.
