    TLDR Many women with female pattern hair loss also have metabolic syndrome.
    This study investigated the frequency of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, involving 96 women aged 19-45 years. The results showed that 59.4% of these women were diagnosed with MetS. The study found no significant difference in the frequency of MetS across various subgroups based on age, duration of disease, and pattern of hair loss. The findings highlight a substantial proportion of FPHL patients also suffer from MetS, suggesting a potential link between the two conditions.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.

      A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including RU58841, ketoconazole shampoo, caffeine shampoo, and topical finasteride. They found RU58841 effective for diffuse thinning but experienced severe hair loss after stopping it; topical finasteride worked well for a receding hairline but caused side effects. They also use a charcoal shampoo and practice scalp massages.
