research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.

Low birthweight and rapid weight gain after birth may increase the risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome.
research COVID-19 pandemic: what about the gonads?
COVID-19 may affect male fertility and women might have better outcomes due to hormonal and immune differences.
research Androgenetic alopecia may be associated with weaker COVID-19 T-cell immune response: An insight into a potential COVID-19 vaccine booster
Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.
research Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens contribute to common male hair loss; more research needed for hair growth medication.
