community Genuine question about VDPHL01's long term safety that I haven't seen discussed here

in Research/Science 28 upvotes 4 months ago

Concerns about the long-term safety of VDPHL01, an extended-release minoxidil, due to potential risks similar to Cantu syndrome, were raised, highlighting the lack of monitoring for chronic connective tissue changes. The conversation suggests that while the treatment may improve hair growth, it could lead to issues not detected in short-term trials.

community Why do people here trust Kevin Mann?

36 upvotes 6 years ago

Concerns about finasteride's side effects on neurosteroids and brain health, with skepticism towards Kevin Mann's advice. Users discuss using finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 for hair loss, with mixed opinions on their safety and effectiveness.

community Why hair matters long-term when you are seeking positions of authority?

in Chat 96 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair is perceived as important for authority and attractiveness, with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride being used to maintain it. However, confidence and physical fitness are also crucial for success, and baldness doesn't necessarily hinder professional achievements.

community Androsterone as a Neurosteroid Replacement Strategy for 5α-Reductase Inhibitor–Associated Sexual and Affective Dysfunction

in Research/Science 36 upvotes 2 months ago

Androsterone may help with sexual and affective dysfunction from finasteride by replacing disrupted neurosteroids without increasing androgenic side effects. Controlled testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

community Losing my hair since 18, feel like a monster
