5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Massive study on finasteride side effects released
The release of a study on 5a-reductase inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) which showed an increased risk of depression, dementia, decreased libido, and reduced semen load as potential side effects; discussion around other forms of hair loss treatments such as topical minoxidil, RU58841, or opting to accept baldness; and advice to consider professional help for deeper issues related to hair loss.
community Could low blood flow to the head cause an increased rate of thinning?
The user started using finasteride, minoxidil, and biotin for male pattern baldness (MPB) and is experiencing rapid thinning. They are questioning if low blood flow to the head could be contributing to their hair loss.
community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
