5 / 114 resultscommunity Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community I talked to urologist about Finasteride and just wanted to share what he said
The effects of Finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss, prostate problems and other conditions. The post by iaskedadoctor describes the conversations they had with a Urologist about the effects of the drug on DHT levels throughout the body, how lower doses are beneficial in reducing side effects, how erectile dysfunction can be psychological as well as physiological, how morning erections are not necessarily important, and how persistent side effects appear to be rare. People also shared their experiences with taking Finasteride for hair loss, including potential side effects such as reduced ejaculate force and development of man boobs.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
