    GlossaryAnesthesia (General anesthesia)

    use of drugs to prevent pain during medical procedures

    Anesthesia refers to the use of medications to prevent pain during surgery or other medical procedures. It can be administered in various forms, including general anesthesia, which induces a reversible loss of consciousness, and local anesthesia, which numbs a specific area of the body while the patient remains awake. Anesthetics work by blocking nerve signals in the body, ensuring that patients do not feel pain during the procedure.

      community Unpopular Opinion: hair cloning kind of sucks as a potential future cure.

      in Technology  26 upvotes 9 months ago
      Hair cloning is seen as a distant and potentially less relevant solution for hair loss due to its high cost, invasiveness, and the advancement of other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Many believe that by the time hair cloning becomes viable, other less invasive and more effective treatments will be available.

      Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
