Did you mean Androgenic Disorders?

GlossaryAndrogenic Disorders

refer to conditions caused by abnormal male hormone activity

Androgenic disorders refer to medical conditions caused by the abnormal production or action of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These disorders can lead to various symptoms, including excessive hair growth (hirsutism) in women, hair loss (androgenic alopecia) in both men and women, and other hormonal imbalances that can affect reproductive and overall health.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

in Research/Science 65 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community Injecting stomach fat into the scalp could cure baldness in just six months

in Update 114 upvotes 7 years ago

A potential treatment for hair loss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.

community Is it possible for androgenic alopecia to begin at early adolescent years?

in Chat 70 upvotes 3 years ago

Hair loss can begin in early adolescence and cause mental anguish. Treatments mentioned include eating cruciferous vegetables, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining scalp hygiene.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

in Research/Science 18 upvotes 8 months ago

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.
