Cyproterone acetate-estrogen most effective for hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient needs.

Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.

All treatments reduce hair growth; low dose flutamide most effective with fewer side effects.

Birth control pills can help manage acne, but dermatologists should know their skin-related side effects, especially when prescribing drugs that can harm unborn babies.

Pediatricians should advise sexually active teens on safe sex and STD prevention, and discuss contraceptive options and their side effects.

5α-reductase inhibitors can cause sexual problems, higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and depression.

Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.

Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.

Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.

Antiandrogens are the main treatment for hirsutism, with individualized care and safe, affordable options needed.

Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.

5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.

Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.

Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.

Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.

NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.

The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.

Researchers created five new human scalp cell lines that could be useful for hair growth and loss research.

Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.

Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.

New treatments for PCOS focus on managing symptoms and improving fertility.

Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.

Transdermal testosterone can improve sexual desire in postmenopausal women but lacks long-term safety data and is not FDA-approved for this use.

Male hormones can cause hair loss, but treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride can help, and targeting TGF-B1 could be a future solution.

Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.

Female pattern hair loss involves thinning hair on crown and frontal scalp, diagnosed by hair ratio, and treated with minoxidil, antiandrogens, or hair transplantation.

Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, are used for prostate issues, hair loss, and excessive hair growth, may help with COVID-19, but can cause sexual and mental health side effects, and their use in preventing prostate cancer needs more examination.
