5 / 1000+ results research Polycystic Ovaries Are Inherited as an Autosomal Dominant Trait: Analysis of 29 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and 10 Control Families
This study found evidence suggesting a potential genetic link between polycystic ovaries and premature male pattern baldness through screening of first-degree relatives of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research LncRNA H19 inhibited dermal papilla cell senescence process through miR-29a by targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
This research observed that overexpression of lncRNA H19 in human dermal papilla cells inhibited cell senescence and maintained hair follicle-inducing abilities by activating the Wnt signaling pathway, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for androgenetic alopecia.
research Global Landscapes of Human Phenotypic Variation in Inherited Traits
This chapter discusses genetic polymorphisms related to phenotypes that differentiate between populations and reports no new results; it highlights the role of DNA technology in understanding human adaptation history.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
This study found that finasteride decreased plasma dihydrotestosterone levels and altered steroid metabolism, similar to the profile of male pseudohermaphrodites with inherited 5a-reductase deficiency.

The user experienced male pattern baldness starting at 18, tried finasteride with no success, and switched to dutasteride, which halted hair loss. Minoxidil had no effect for them, while their brother, who didn't use AR inhibitors, maintained a juvenile hairline and successfully grew a beard with minoxidil, highlighting the unpredictable nature of genetics in hair loss and treatment response.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.
A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)
Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.
community Anyone here on creatine? Any hairloss sides?
Creatine might speed up hair loss in some people, especially those prone to male pattern baldness, but results differ. Some users experience no hair loss when using finasteride or dutasteride alongside creatine.

4 / 801 results- What is male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition causing hair loss in men, starting with a receding hairline.
- What causes male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is caused by genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT.

learn Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
