Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) Research/Science 6/26/2023
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community microneedle, any long term users damage?
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).
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.
