Men taking finasteride while their partner is pregnant is generally considered low risk for the fetus, with studies showing no significant increase in birth defects. However, some concerns exist about potential effects on fertility and a possible association with cryptorchidism, so discussing with healthcare providers is advised.

People have been using finasteride for 10 to 20+ years to maintain their hairline, with many reporting success and no significant side effects. Some users have combined finasteride with minoxidil for better results, and a few have switched to dutasteride or added hair transplants when finasteride was less effective.

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

Creatine does not cause hair loss, but some users report hair loss while using it. Minoxidil and finasteride are mentioned as treatments for hair loss.

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
