Testosterone and dht - #10520

My hair has become very thin and continues to fall out, and I believe this is largely due to my genetics. Hair loss runs strongly in my family, and over time I have started to notice the same pattern happening to me. Because of this, I am very careful about anything that might affect my hormones or increase hair shedding. I have been learning that hormones such as testosterone and especially dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can play a major role in genetic hair loss, which is often called male pattern baldness. Recently, I have been thinking about using the herbal supplement Tongkat Ali because many people say it can increase testosterone levels and improve energy, strength, and mood. However, I am concerned that if it raises testosterone or DHT levels, it might make my hair loss worse. My hair is already very thin, and I am worried that taking something that affects these hormones could cause even more shedding or speed up the balding process. Since my genetics already make me prone to hair loss, I want to be very careful about anything that could increase DHT or make the situation worse. My main question is whether using Tongkat Ali could potentially cause more hair shedding or accelerate hair loss in someone like me who already has thin hair and is sensitive to hormonal changes. I would really appreciate your professional opinion about whether Tongkat Ali is safe for someone in my situation, or if it would be better to avoid it because of the possible effects on DHT and hair loss. Thank you for your time and advice.
