community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community Let’s be real, does infrequent smoking really accelerate MPB and/or cause health issues?

10 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Smoking infrequently is unlikely to significantly impact hair loss or health, especially when using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Genetics play a larger role in hair loss, and low smoking frequency is not considered a major risk.

community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.

51 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
