Glossary Hormonal Influences

effects of hormones on body processes, including hair growth

Hormonal influences refer to the effects that hormones have on various physiological processes in the body. For example, hormones like testosterone and estrogen can significantly impact hair growth and loss. In conditions like androgenetic alopecia, an imbalance in these hormones can lead to hair thinning and baldness. Understanding these influences is crucial for both diagnosing and treating hair-related conditions.

community Why is Finasteride seen as “scary” for men, but hormonal birth control is totally normalized for women?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 757 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride is seen as risky for men due to side effects like erectile dysfunction, while hormonal birth control for women is normalized despite its side effects. The discussion points out a double standard influenced by societal and gender norms.

community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important

101 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.

community If DHT is the cause of hair loss why do so many still lose hair on dutasteride?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 9 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Hair loss can persist despite using treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil due to factors like genetic sensitivity, incomplete DHT blockage, and other hormonal influences. Individual responses vary, and some may require a combination of treatments to stabilize hair loss.

community A general thank you-my experience so far.

in Minoxidil 36 upvotes 1 year ago

The user shared positive results using Minoxidil and microneedling for hair regrowth, choosing not to use finasteride due to concerns about hormonal effects.

community I’m 18 im doing prevention research but it may have gone a little bit further

in Research/Science 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by scalp tension, stress, and environmental factors, not just hormones. Treatments like tretinoin, microneedling, scalp massage, and Botox can reduce tension and improve hair health.

Why are some women using bicalutamide to fight hormonal hair loss? Bicalutamide blocks androgens, helping women combat hormonal hair loss effectively.

learn Lavender

Is lavender effective for hormonal hair loss or just stress? Lavender may help with stress-related hair loss but has limited evidence for hormonal hair loss.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.

Adenosine : Can it help if my hair loss is due to a hormonal imbalance like PCOS or DHT? Adenosine may help improve hair growth affected by hormonal imbalances like PCOS or DHT.
