I recall that Siterone (etc.) doesn't actually prevent the production of testosterone (from testicles or from anywhere else). It prevents Testosterone from converting to dihytestosterone (the stuff that actually affects manhood).
It is dihytestosterone that contributes mostly to hair loss.
Certainly if actual testosterone level is low there won't be much dihyT.
Keeping any amount of testosterone from converting to dihyT will still be needed for absolute minimal "maleness".
With a low T level, a drug like Siterone is not necessarily needed to stop T from converting to dihyT. Soy, licorice, and other natural foods can help minimize the conversion of T to dihyT. You can easily research this on the internet.
