    deviations from the normal menstrual cycle pattern

    Menstrual Irregularities refer to any deviations from the normal menstrual cycle, which typically lasts 28 days but can range from 21 to 35 days in adults. These irregularities can include variations in cycle length, missed periods, unusually heavy or light bleeding, and spotting between periods. They can be caused by a variety of factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight changes, and underlying medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.

      community risks with finasteride and dutasteride

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 3 months ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride have potential risks, including post-finasteride syndrome, but are commonly used for hair loss. RU58841, minoxidil, and needling are suggested as alternatives, though all treatments carry risks.

      community is there anything that stops hair loss?

      in Female  8 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user is experiencing rapid hair loss and has been diagnosed with telogen effluvium by multiple dermatologists, but doubts the diagnosis due to the severity and speed of the hair loss. They are considering various treatments like spironolactone, estradiol, and possibly finasteride, while also exploring the possibility of hormonal imbalances or autoimmune issues.
