Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
community An Interesting Study With a Decent Sample Size Finding Caffeine Liquid to Have Similar Effectiveness to Minoxidil
Caffeine liquid may be as effective as Minoxidil for hair loss and could be used together for added benefits. However, the credibility of the research is questionable due to potential bias, as the study was sponsored by a company that sells caffeine solution and was not double-blind.
community Brief summary of new dutasteride study linked to infertility and the limitations/problems with the study
Dutasteride treatment may decrease sperm concentration, but levels remain above WHO recommendations and recover after discontinuation. The study has limitations, including small sample size and lack of pre-treatment sperm data, and does not assess other fertility factors.
community "Clinical efficacy of microneedle combined with 5% Minoxidil solution and finasteride in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in males"
Microneedling combined with 5% Minoxidil and finasteride significantly improves hair growth compared to using Minoxidil or Minoxidil with finasteride alone. The combination treatment is safe and effective, but further research is needed due to small sample size and short study duration.
community A study on topical application of biotin/panthenol vs minoxodil
The conversation discusses a study comparing microneedling combined with minoxidil versus biotin/panthenol for hair loss. Results suggest biotin/panthenol may be superior to minoxidil, though the sample size was small.
