5 / 429 resultscommunity Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community Calling out *diffuse thinners* here -- Have you ruled out other factors?
Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.
community Impressed by the progress but think it’s time to go for the transplant?
The user started taking 2.5mg minoxidil tablets daily and reduced their finasteride dose to 0.5mg due to side effects. They are considering a hair transplant but are unsure if they should proceed now or wait after seeing the effects of the reduced finasteride dosage.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Is it me or are people losing their hair very young now?
People notice more young individuals experiencing hair loss and discuss possible reasons, such as diet, hormones, and stress. Some treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.
