research Comparison of Levels of Androgenic Hormones in various Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in High School Girls aging 14 to 18 Years
This study observed that androgenic hormone levels were higher in high school girls with PCOS phenotypes accompanied by menstrual disorders, particularly oligomenorrhea.
research Assessment of androgenic hormones and other risk factors in Egyptian males with early onset androgenetic alopecia: a case control study
Early-onset hair loss in Egyptian males is linked to genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors like smoking and diet.
research Variation in male sex hormone levels among the pattern subtypes of hair loss in patients with androgenetic alopecia
This article is a letter discussing variations in male sex hormone levels among different pattern subtypes of androgenetic alopecia and does not present new research results.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity What hormones should I have tested at a minimum before starting a DHT blocker or anti-androgen?
The conversation is about someone planning to start finasteride or RU58841 for hair loss and wanting to know which hormones to test beforehand. They found a package for testing testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, and DHT, and are asking if these tests are enough.
community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community Melatonin emerging as new treatment for androgenic alopecia?
Melatonin is being considered as a potential treatment for androgenic alopecia, with some users discussing its effects and combining it with other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. Concerns about melatonin's impact on hormones and side effects from other treatments like ketoconazole were also discussed.
community Another theory for hair loss: Parasites in gut.
Parasites in the gut may contribute to hair loss by depleting essential nutrients and disrupting hormone balance. An imbalance of hormones, not just DHT, could be a factor in androgenic alopecia.
community Just got some test results back.
The user received hormone test results showing normal estradiol and testosterone levels, low SHBG, and normal free androgen index. They are considering starting finasteride but are concerned due to being slightly overweight.

10 / 47 results- What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil blocks DHT by binding to androgen receptors in hair follicles, preventing hair loss.
- How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.
- Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.
- What causes male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is caused by genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT.
- Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a prescription topical hormone, licensed for androgenetic alopecia in Germany but not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where it produced stabilisation rather than regrowth and was outperformed by minoxidil; no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
