5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why does MPB only affect the scalp
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
community Exploring all options - Scalp tension theory
The conversation discusses the scalp tension theory as a potential factor in hair loss, alongside DHT, inflammation, and other mechanisms. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, and botox injections, with some users exploring additional methods due to varying effectiveness.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
