    GlossaryAndrogen Action

    biological effects triggered by male sex hormones like testosterone

    Androgen action refers to the biological effects triggered by androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These hormones bind to specific receptors in cells, influencing the development and maintenance of male characteristics, such as facial hair and muscle mass, and also play roles in female health. In the context of hair, androgen action can lead to hair growth in certain areas and contribute to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).

      community 1mg Finasteride 6 Months Progress- Volume or just longer hair?

      in Progress Pictures  99 upvotes 2 years ago
      The user has been using 1mg finasteride daily for 6 months, inconsistently applies minoxidil, uses rosemary oil occasionally, and Nizoral shampoo twice a week for hair loss. They're unsure if the perceived progress is due to hair growth or increased volume, and are considering using minoxidil more frequently.
