Low-dose finasteride effectively treats hirsutism, is safe, and cost-effective.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Four Days of Simulated Shift Work Reduces Insulin Sensitivity in Humans
Working night shifts for four days can lower the body's ability to use insulin, which may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
research Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss
