community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice
Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
community Could Finasteride theoretically induce chronic telogen effluvium?
A user experienced continuous hair shedding for 13 months after starting finasteride, suspecting it might cause chronic telogen effluvium, and considered switching to dutasteride or stopping medication. Other users suggested that finasteride doesn't cause hair loss, recommending dutasteride for more aggressive hair loss, while some advised against stopping medication.
