    GlossarySpontaneous Pneumothorax (SP)

    air leaks into chest cavity, causing lung collapse

    Spontaneous Pneumothorax, often referred to as a collapsed lung, occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This can happen without any obvious cause (Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax) or as a result of an underlying lung condition (Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax). Symptoms typically include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath, and treatment may range from observation to surgical intervention, depending on the severity.

      community Does the effect of spironolactone on androgenetic alopecia really weaken over time?

      in Female  4 upvotes 1 month ago
      Spironolactone can remain effective for a long time in treating androgenetic alopecia, but it may not completely stop hair loss. Hair loss treatments like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride slow down hair loss rather than cure it, and their effectiveness can vary based on individual response and the aggressiveness of the condition.

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 6 months ago
      Spironolactone is more potent and lowers testosterone and DHT, while dutasteride only impacts DHT. For female hair loss, checking hormones and considering treatments like oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or topical minoxidil is recommended.
