    TLDR The meeting highlighted promising genetic treatments for male fertility issues but noted concerns about certain cancer risks and ICSI safety.
    The 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology highlighted advancements in male reproductive biology, focusing on genetic and biochemical interventions for fertility and erectile dysfunction. Key discussions included gene therapy for erectile dysfunction, with promising results from endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in rodent models, and the potential of mesenchymal stem cells. Prostate cancer research revealed finasteride's effect on low-grade cancer and concerns about high-grade cancer. The meeting also addressed male contraception, chronic prostatitis, and the safety of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), noting increased congenital malformations in ICSI offspring. Overall, the meeting underscored the complexity of male fertility and the need for further research into genetic causes and treatment outcomes.

      Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

      community Do you keep gains if you stop microneedling?

      in Microneedling  15 upvotes 4 months ago
      Stopping microneedling may result in losing hair gains, as it enhances the effectiveness of treatments like minoxidil. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride is more effective than using microneedling alone.
