Glossary Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia

hair loss caused by treatments that alter hormone levels

Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia, also known as Hormone Therapy-Induced Alopecia, refers to hair loss that occurs as a side effect of treatments that alter hormone levels, commonly used in managing cancers like breast or prostate cancer. These therapies, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, disrupt the normal hormonal balance, leading to thinning hair or baldness.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
