Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?
Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome 20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
community Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
community I want to sacrifice my hair in the name of science
The conversation discusses various theories of hair loss, including DHT sensitivity and genetic factors, with the user willing to use themselves for research due to having a hair loss gene but different hair loss patterns compared to their brothers. Specific treatments were not mentioned in the provided text.
community IVF process on Finasteride and effects of stopping finasteride.
Concerns about finasteride affecting sperm quality and embryo abnormalities during IVF. The user plans to stop finasteride for 6 months and use minoxidil, microneedling, a red light cap, and saw palmetto shampoo to manage hair loss.
