Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.

Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.

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.

Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.

Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.

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

Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.

Most women with excessive hair growth have PCOS; treatment varies and focuses on preventing new hair, with electrolysis as the only permanent removal method.

Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.

Hirsutism causes significant psychological distress in women.

The document says that hair loss in women is often due to androgenic alopecia, similar to male baldness, and that hirsutism is treated with hormonal and cosmetic methods.

Hormonal therapies are safe and effective for treating acne in female adolescents, with specific treatments for those with endocrine disorders.

The boy's hair loss was caused by the tuberculosis drug isoniazid but grew back after stopping the medication.

A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.

Baldness, especially at the front, may lower the risk of testicular cancer by 31%, but its link to prostate cancer is unclear.

Using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may improve bladder cancer survival in men.

Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.

Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.

The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.

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.

Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.

All women with significant unwanted hair growth have hormonal imbalances, often from polycystic ovary syndrome.

Certain gene variations are linked to a higher risk of severe acne, suggesting a genetic influence on the condition.

Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
