Is this normal on ADT? Body hair gone

Posted by scottbeammeup @scottbeammeup, Sep 15, 2024

I'm almost on my 6th month of ADT. This morning I noticed that almost all my body hair is gone except for the hair on my head. My underarm hair, pubic hair, and arm and leg hair are all missing. I look like a plucked chicken. Is this normal? Will this hair come back?

I also noticed that I haven't had to shave in almost three weeks.

The pain is, you still have to shave every day. Sure, you have no armpit hair no chest hair no leg hair, but that’s it!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Does anyone see this happening on Lupron? I'm 2 months into a 6 month trial and so far i havent had any hair loss. actually the thinning on the front of my head looks better. the one change i did see is: i normally shave once every 2 days and now i'm shaving once a week. so my beard / facial hair growth has slowed down.

I was on ADT for 8 years. I have to shave daily Even though I have No body hair.

I don’t like to have stubble on my face. I want it smooth. Too much of a pain to use my Shaver if I have a couple of Days of beard.

Oh yeah, same here. I finished my last Eligard shot last Fall. 2 years of it. Arm and leg hair
mostly gone. Head, arm pits, face,etc. still there.

I just started ORGOVYX. I am also on Minoxidil for blood pressure. Unlike the topical version which did not help head hair systemically it does. Arm hair and chest hair more evident and less head hair loss if any. It will be interesting to see their effect together.
