Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.

Radiation therapy damages skin structure and immune function, causing inflammation and potential hair loss.

Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.

Androgens increase EPO production, finasteride doesn't significantly impact it.

Testosterone therapy seems safe for short-term use in postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, but more research on long-term effects is needed.

Nearly half of the studied men with long COVID had low testosterone, including younger men.

A drug called cimetidine can help treat hair loss in women by blocking androgen receptors. However, it's not the first choice and needs more research.

Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.

Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.

The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.

PCOS is a common condition in women that causes various symptoms and health issues, treatable with lifestyle changes and medication.

The rat model showed early perimenopause with regular cycles and low hormones, and late perimenopause with irregular cycles and higher hormone levels.
