Bio
Finasteride (Propecia) is a drug that inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Several methods of treating MPB and FPHL involve interfering with testosterone and DHT’s actions. But genes play a significant role, and men who have close male relatives with MPB have a much higher risk of developing MPB themselves. There is some evidence of a link between baldness and prostate cancer and other diseases. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is made from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.
Based on the hair’s natural hair cycle, it’s normal for hair to grow, fall out, and then get replaced with new strands. DHT stimulates the growth of prostate cells. High levels of DHT can also contribute to problems with prostate1. DHT is considerably more potent than testosterone, and it more often acts on the skin. Testosterone gets converted into dihydrotestosterone via an enzyme. Too much of any single hormone can contribute to a variety of problems. Testosterone plays an integral role in numerous aspects of overall health and well-being.
Male pattern hair loss typically begins with a receding hairline and hair thinning above the temples and at the crown. Male and female pattern hair loss often has a predictable pattern in the way it is present on the scalp. When polycystic ovarian syndrome occurs, and testosterone levels rise, additional side effects may include acne breakouts, body hair growth, and irregular menstruation.
Studies show the herb may boost testosterone levels by up to 20%. One, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been shown to help increase hair thickness and density (the number of hairs on your scalp) compared to sham treatment (3). Developing side effects—including hair loss, which research shows (2) causes real struggles with anxiety, self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction—can cause you to give up on TRT.
The surge of androgens at puberty drives an accompanying surge in growth hormone. Because growth hormone is pulsatile and peaks during sleep, serum IGF is used as an index of overall growth hormone secretion. Female patients with mineralocorticoid resistance present with androgenic alopecia. Because of its association with metabolic syndrome and altered glucose metabolism, anyone with early androgenic hair loss should be screened for impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus II. Premature androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance may be a clinical constellation that represents the male homologue, or phenotype, of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Androgenic alopecia is typically experienced as a "moderately stressful condition that diminishes body image satisfaction". Using ones own cells and tissues and without harsh side effects, PRP is beneficial for alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia and can be used as an alternative to minoxidil or finasteride. Cosmetic scalp tattoos can also mimic the appearance of a short, buzzed haircut. Combination therapy of LLLT or microneedling with finasteride or minoxidil demonstrated substantive increases in hair count. The Hamilton–Norwood scale has been developed to grade androgenic alopecia in males by severity.citation needed
In the scalp, testosterone can convert into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The key factor is how the body processes testosterone. Testosterone itself is not the direct cause of hair loss. This leads to diffuse thinning—hair is still present, but it’s finer, weaker, and less voluminous. Hair density refers to the number of hair strands growing per square centimeter of scalp. Not all hair loss looks dramatic.
