5 / 111 resultscommunity He turned 71 last week. It looks like his hairline proceeded as he aged. Do you think he's on fin or dut? Or maybe some ancient esoteric chinese remedy?
The conversation humorously speculates on whether an elderly man's good hairline is due to finasteride, dutasteride, or genetics. It also discusses the role of DHT and genetics in hair loss.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community Does girlfriend ASMR overpower finasteride?
A humorous discussion on hair loss, suggesting girlfriend ASMR might counteract finasteride's effects, with a proposed experiment involving finasteride, ASMR, and control groups. Participants joke about evolutionary theories, ASMR, and the effects of DHT on balding.
community Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
