A short male anogenital distance may indicate incomplete masculinization due to disrupted androgen action.
research The role of dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction and related conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.

Rubus coreanum may help hair growth but not through the tested mechanisms, and none of the herbal extracts help with acne.
research Updates in Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss include low-dose oral minoxidil, light therapy, and innovative therapies targeting hair growth mechanisms.
research Phytochemicals as emerging therapeutic agents for alopecia treatment
Plant-based chemicals may help hair growth and prevent hair loss but need more research to compete with current treatments.

Finasteride doesn't effectively treat hair loss in postmenopausal women.
research Approach to the adult female patient with diffuse nonscarring alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
