This study explains that congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency presents as a continuous phenotype and involves symptoms ranging from virilization to accelerated growth in children, with diagnosis relying on clinical, biochemical, and genetic evaluation.
A 31-year-old woman is using Dutasteride (0.5mg daily) and supplements like a multivitamin, Herbadal, pumpkin seed oil, and vitamin D for genetic hair loss, noticing thicker hair but no new growth after one month. She is considering adding minoxidil and is aware of Dutasteride's risks, especially regarding pregnancy.
A user is anxious about shedding after starting oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, noting about 250 hairs lost after washing. Responses suggest that shedding is common with these treatments, especially with curly hair, and that it often peaks around 8-10 weeks before improving.
The conversation is about temporary hair thickening solutions, with suggestions including volumizing mousse, sea salt spray, Aveda thickening paste, tinted dry shampoo, and cold water rinses. The user is already using oral Minoxidil, Dutasteride, and keto shampoo, and has had a hair transplant.
Minoxidil can cause dry, stiff hair, making styling difficult. Users suggest applying it hours before styling, using light styling products, and not washing hair daily to manage dryness.
