In this study, researchers introduced a new method for measuring hairloss during platelet-rich plasma therapy, observing reduced hair shedding per session in 30 patients and suggesting this technique could serve as a less variable and more patient-friendly alternative to traditional hair pull tests.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hairloss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.
The user experiences ongoing hairloss despite normal blood tests and various treatments, including PRP, supplements, a laser cap, and long-term use of 5% minoxidil. Hair shedding resumes whenever minoxidil is stopped, and the user seeks advice on effective treatments for hair density and regrowth.
Testosterone can still cause hairloss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.
Increasing dutasteride to 2.5 mg daily and adding 2.5 mg oral minoxidil to prevent hairloss during a testosterone cycle. Suggestions include adding RU58841 for better protection against hairloss.
The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hairloss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hairloss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hairloss.
How often should sulforaphane-based products be used for hairloss prevention?No human trial has tested sulforaphane for hair loss prevention, so there is no established usage frequency. Oral supplements are taken daily in research on unrelated conditions and the hair-specific evidence is limited to cell, mouse and isolated-follicle studies, so any schedule is extrapolation rather than a dosing guideline.
Should ginkgo biloba be taken orally or applied topically for hairloss?No published human trial has tested ginkgo biloba for hair loss by either route, so neither oral nor topical use can be recommended over the other; the oral route also has a documented bleeding interaction with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.
