5 / 7 resultscommunity does lowering your prolactin levels regrow hair?
The potential of lowering prolactin levels to regrow hair, with a reference to Bayer's drug HMI 115 which has been indicated as having this effect. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil and Finasteride, as well as RU58841.
community Does lowering serum prolactin lower prolactin in the scalp?
The conversation discusses whether not masturbating (semen retention) affects hair loss, with opinions varying but generally dismissing the idea. Some participants mention using hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841, but the effectiveness and relation to prolactin levels in the scalp are debated.
community Why HMI115 should work if it doesn’t affect dht?
Hair growth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting follicle growth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
community Two Great Articles on NCBI That Summarize What We Actually Know About Finasteride Side Effects
The side effects of taking finasteride as a treatment for hair loss, with particular focus on its sexual and psychiatric side effects; research has indicated that there are high and low outliers in terms of prevalence of sexual side effects, but it is usually between 3-5%, while evidence of lasting sexual side effects comes from lower quality sources.
community 5ARI (dutasteride) Associated with Adverse Metabolic Effects
Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
