my mental state

i was enlightened to a medical fact sometime last week, in the endocrinology clinic about how to stop male-pattern balding? and being me who are up to this point, are still struggling to keep all this medical facts and wonders in my tiny brain - i was reminded that it was related to the testosterone level is our body.

btw, women also have testosterone just in case people are wondering, but obviously not as much as male plus the fact women have more complicated hormones like oestrogen. heh. so, testosterone is the masculine hormone made from steroids. if a lady got too much testosterone within, the lady will be more masculine than any other female. hmm. and they say testosterone helps confidence as well. but could it be that men have testosterone that it has to sound better and superior, compared to oestrogen that is almost always related to mood swings etc?? heh… not trying to be sexist here but just wondering…

anyway, i am drifting from the topic here… hehe…
so guess what options do men have to stop beeing bald?

and boy… i think men will find themselves in dilemma over this. another option apart from having hair transplant is to actually have their testicles removed. to get the testosterone level down and stops them from becoming bald. and the clinician convinced us that he probably has encountered two cases (removal of testicles to stop balding) in his professional working life so far.

hmm… tough choice eh?
especially in young male who is losing hair but has yet to complete their family… or even so, after completing a family, would it be worthwhile to remove the testicles to prevent being bald?
priority… priority… priority… hmm… i cannot stop myself from finding this fact amusing as i have never known this before… what do you think?
