Glossary Candida

yeast causing infections when overgrown in the body

Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives in small amounts in the human body, particularly in the mouth, gut, and on the skin. While it is usually harmless, an overgrowth can lead to infections such as oral thrush or vaginal yeast infections, and in severe cases, it can cause systemic infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

community Transplant Candidate? (26, Male)

40 upvotes 7 months ago

A 26-year-old male considering a hair transplant is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, planning to start feminizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen and spironolactone. Many suggest waiting to see the effects of HRT, which may significantly regrow hair, before deciding on a transplant, and recommend adding microneedling and possibly switching to oral treatments for better results.

community Am I a suitable candidate for a hair transplant?

in Transplants 8 upvotes 1 month ago

The user is considering a hair transplant due to thinning hair but has been using dutasteride and topical minoxidil for 4 years, which has stabilized and thickened their hair. They are advised to continue with current treatments and consider other options like microneedling, as transplants may not be ideal for diffuse thinning.

community Am I A Good Candidate for a Procedure?

1 year ago

The user is using a topical solution with finasteride, minoxidil, and other ingredients, along with a red light laser cap and dermapen, to address hair thinning. They are considering a hair transplant but are advised to try dutasteride and oral minoxidil for 12 to 18 months before deciding.

community I thought I’d be the perfect candidate for regrowth since I only had diffuse thinning on my crown. 9 months later of Oral Min and Fin and I’m worse off than when I started.

in Is this regrowth? 70 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced worsening hair loss despite using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and topical minoxidil for nine months. They are considering switching to dutasteride and reducing ketoconazole shampoo due to its drying effects.

community Will I be a good candidate for Finasteride?

5 years ago

A 17-year-old is considering finasteride for hair loss but is advised to wait due to potential hormonal effects at a young age. Alternatives like minoxidil, micro-needling, vitamins, and lifestyle changes are suggested instead.
