    TLDR Female pattern hair loss does not significantly affect sexual dysfunction.
    The study assessed female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in 47 premenopausal Egyptian women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) compared to 43 controls. It found no significant difference in FSD prevalence between the FPHL group (44.7%) and the control group (44.2%). Age and parity were positively correlated with FSD prevalence, but the severity of FPHL and androgen hormone levels were not. The study recommended larger-scale research and specialized female sexual health clinics to address FSD, particularly in Islamic and Arab countries.

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, with some users advocating for finasteride and minoxidil, while others express concerns about potential side effects of finasteride. A social media influencer is criticized for promoting scalp massages and minoxidil over finasteride, which some believe is misinformation.
