    GlossaryGrowth Retardation (Growth Delay)

    condition where physical development is significantly slower than average

    Growth Retardation, also known as Stunted Growth or Growth Delay, refers to a condition where an individual's physical development is significantly slower than the average for their age and sex. This can be due to a variety of factors including genetic conditions, chronic illnesses, malnutrition, or hormonal imbalances. In the context of hair, growth retardation can manifest as slower hair growth or thinning, often linked to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies.

      The post discusses the rarity of baldness among South Korean men. Users suggest this could be due to early treatment, high beauty standards, accessibility of healthcare, and genetics. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are commonly used, and hair transplants are also popular.

      The user is considering whether to delay starting finasteride to focus on beard growth using minoxidil. They have seen improvement in scalp hair with oral minoxidil and are concerned about finasteride's impact on beard development.

      community Breezula phase 3 results where are youuuu👀

      in Satire  16 upvotes 1 month ago
      Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, but its release is likely delayed until 2027 or 2028. The discussion highlights the need for more hair growth stimulants like AMP-303 and PP-405, as current treatments like Dutasteride effectively stop hair loss but don't regrow hair.
