    medications that block male hormones without activating their receptors

    Nonsteroidal Antiandrogens (NSAA) are medications that block the action of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) by binding to androgen receptors without activating them. They are commonly used in the treatment of conditions like prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia (hair loss) by preventing androgens from stimulating the growth of cancer cells or hair follicles.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
