    TLDR Adolescents with abnormal uterine bleeding often have polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance.
    In a study conducted in 2019 involving 43 females aged 12-18 years diagnosed with juvenile menorrhagia and 37 healthy female adolescents of the same age range, it was found that adolescents with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) are often diagnosed with secondary amenorrhea and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The study also found that the group with a diagnosis of juvenile bleeding had higher rates of insulin resistance. The occurrence of regular menstrual cycles was significantly lower in the juvenile bleeding group (30.23%, p = 0.006), and secondary amenorrhea was significantly more likely to be recognized in this group of females (p = 0.03). The concentration of FSH was considerably lower (p = 0.0002) in the group of adolescents with AUB.

      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.

      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.

      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
