community Hair loss treatment rabbit hole [OC]

in Satire 317 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair loss treatments, ranging from topical minoxidil and finasteride to taking hormones such as estradiol or nandrolone, as well as a controversial suggestion of an orchiectomy. A hair system is also mentioned as an alternative solution.

community Soo... i was pretty bored and was just brainstorming and ended up thinking about gt20029

in Chat 6 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses maintaining hair regrowth using minoxidil and finasteride and whether using gt20029, which degrades androgen receptors, would affect this. Fluridil, a similar treatment, can disable over 90% of active androgen receptors.
