Glossary Hormonal Imbalances

disruption in hormone levels affecting body functions and processes

Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream, disrupting the body's normal functions. These imbalances can affect various bodily systems and processes, including metabolism, growth, mood, and reproductive health, and can be caused by factors such as stress, medical conditions, or changes in diet and lifestyle.

community Hormonal Imbalance Theory and the "Trash Hormone"...

2 upvotes 3 years ago

Balancing hormones, particularly testosterone and DHT, may prevent hair loss and slow aging. Treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, zinc, magnesium, collagen, and natural DHT-blocking shampoos.

community Can sugar be the reason for an early AGA?

2 upvotes 2 years ago

Cutting sugar may help slow hair loss, as it can cause inflammation and hormone imbalances. Medications like Minoxidil and Finasteride are also suggested for better results.

community Another theory for hair loss: Parasites in gut.

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Parasites in the gut may contribute to hair loss by depleting essential nutrients and disrupting hormone balance. An imbalance of hormones, not just DHT, could be a factor in androgenic alopecia.

community My mum, 68. She has decided enough is enough and wants to get some hair back.

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 No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.

learn Centella

Sensitive to hormones? A centella scalp mask may help ease hidden inflamm Centella asiatica has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects in animal and cell studies, but no published research has tested a centella scalp mask on the human scalp, in hormonal contexts or otherwise, and no community reports were found of one being used this way.

learn Estradiol

Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair follicle health.

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 Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.
