DHT may also has some roles in our bodies. If we keep its level as low as possible, I think it must begin to affect negatively. I'm specifically worrying about the negative effect regarding mind and mentality, since I'm a graduate student in science.
Depending on the method of lowering DHT level, I think it may affect the testosterone concentration too, and it will certainly cause problems.
The problem is that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) does much more than contribute to hair loss. It also plays a crucial role in male sexual development and mood regulation. When DHT levels are reduced, either intentionally or unintentionally, it can impact these functions in unwanted ways and cause:
Impotence, Lower sex drive, Difficulty achieving orgasm, Abnormal ejaculation, Gynecomastia (male breast development), Depression.
However, these side effects only appear in a small minority of men. As with any medication, you should discuss with your hair loss physician whether DHT blockers or other pharmaceutical treatments offer a viable and effective option for addressing your hair loss issues.
