So I decided to go to an endocrinologist and my appointment was set to earlier than I expected... tomorrow.
I'd like to know which hormones I should require screening regarding hair loss (I'm not very fond of the "trust your doctor" as sometimes things tend to slip away). And while I'm at it, I'm also going to ask for screening on libido/sex related hormones as well (things just aren't as they were 5 years ago).
I know of a couple of hormones that affect hair loss: testosterone, DHT, stress
Libido and sex related: ???
But I'm sure there are several more. Can anyone chime in anything else?
Thanks

How did it go? Sorry you didn't get any responses here...sometimes I wish all hair talk was in one section.
