in Chat 21 upvotes 2 years ago Stress can increase androgen sensitivity, potentially worsening hair loss. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Estradiol (E2), Testosterone and DHT levels after 1 month on Dutasteride
in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year ago Dutasteride and finasteride are used for hair loss, affecting hormone levels like DHT and testosterone. Hormone balance is crucial, as changes can lead to side effects such as increased estradiol and potential hair loss.
community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors
in Research/Science 39 upvotes 3 years ago Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice
in Research/Science 32 upvotes 5 years ago Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
in Research/Science 194 upvotes 11 months ago 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 Single stressful event enough to trigger recurring hair loss, study suggests
in Research/Science 224 upvotes 6 months ago Stress can trigger hair loss, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride being used to manage it. Some users report improvement with medications like Lexapro, while others emphasize the impact of stress and life events on hair health.
