5 / 42 resultscommunity Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community Research: Minoxidil grows hair by suppressing androgen activity (DHT) in hair follicles.
Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
community 50% test increase after 18 months of taking DUT
A user reported a 50% increase in testosterone after 18 months of taking dutasteride for hair loss. The conversation includes skepticism about the reliability of single testosterone tests and questions about estrogen levels.
community Progress: From June 2022 (7 months of min + fin) to now (1 year) — I’ve lost so much density in this period and I have no idea why. I was getting pretty good resultup until that point. Is there anything else I can try? I’ve tried min, fin, tretinoin, micro needling, and castor oil. I feel hopeless.
The user lost hair density after 7 months of using minoxidil and finasteride and is seeking advice on other treatments after trying tretinoin, microneedling, and castor oil. Suggestions include checking for scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis, changing minoxidil brands, and questioning hair dryer use and finasteride dosage.
