TLDR Yifa compound effectively treats female pattern hair loss and lowers DHT and DHEA levels.
The study observed the effects of Yifa compound on 40 female patients with pattern hair loss over six months, using Gushen Jianpi Shengfa oral liquid. The treatment involved administering 20 mL three times daily. Results showed a 55% excellence rate and an 85% total effectiveness rate. Initially, patients had significantly higher sera dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels compared to normal controls. Post-treatment, these levels were significantly reduced. The study concluded that Yifa compound had a significant therapeutic effect on female pattern hair loss and effectively decreased sera DHT and DHEA levels.

Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
