GlossaryGonadotropins

hormones from the pituitary gland that regulate reproductive organs

Gonadotropins are hormones produced by the pituitary gland that play a crucial role in regulating the function of the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males). The two main types of gonadotropins are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are essential for reproductive processes such as ovulation, sperm production, and the regulation of menstrual cycles.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 upvotes 2 years ago

The user is considering resuming finasteride after a 6-month break and is debating the necessity of extensive blood work, including hormone and health markers, to establish a baseline. They are unsure if the tests are necessary since they experienced no side effects previously.

community What makes them say exercise doesn't increase hair loss?

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 1 year ago

Exercise has minimal impact on hair loss, with weight lifting slightly increasing DHT and cardio potentially decreasing it. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective treatments for managing hair loss, even for those who exercise regularly.

community Be careful when switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride because for more efficacy.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 13 upvotes 1 year ago

Switching from finasteride to dutasteride may be more effective for hair regrowth due to dutasteride's stronger enzyme inhibition, but combining both drugs could enhance results. Some users report better outcomes with dutasteride, while others recommend a gradual transition to prevent potential hair loss.
