Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.

Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.

AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.

Higher androgen levels are linked to more severe hair growth in hirsute women.

Acne significantly affects mental health and quality of life, with research suggesting hormonal and genetic factors in its development and emphasizing early treatment to prevent scarring.

Norplant implants lower some androgen levels but don't significantly change sexual function.
