Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community 6 months progress on Topical FIN/MIN, Topical DUT for NW7
User made progress with topical Finasteride/Minoxidil and topical Dutasteride for hair loss. Microneedling at 1.5mm daily was also mentioned as part of the treatment.
community What's "wrong" with oral minoxidil, exactly?
Oral minoxidil can boost hair growth but may cause side effects like heart palpitations and increased body hair. Many prefer topical minoxidil due to fewer side effects.
community Creatine in People Who Take DHT
Finasteride users have mixed experiences with creatine; some experience increased hair loss, while others do not. Finasteride's DHT-blocking effects might counteract any DHT increase from creatine, but individual responses vary.
community It's sad how many guys shave because they don't know
Finasteride and dutasteride can prevent hair loss if used early, but they may cause side effects. Many men shave their heads because they are unaware of these treatments or avoid them due to side effects or cost.
