Hi,

Without an exam, I can only give general information. I'm not sure if you are saying ANDROGENS. these are quite strong hormones that are like testosterone and cause hastening through puberty. This is likely to have many side effects that are not necessarily good. The effect on hair loss is variable with testosterone. The hair around the forehead falls out but every where else is heavier. It is likely to cause the testes to shrink and produce long term fertility and other issues if it is androgen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
