When I first started finasteride I had some minor sides, but I don't know if they were from finasteride or all mental. Here is an experiment you can do to help determine if you have mental (placebo effect) sides or sides from finasteride. Arrange 14 mouthwash cups each labeled 1 through 14...

Arrange 14 mouthwash cups each labeled 1 through 14 and fill them with an aspirin of similar size to the finasteride pill. Have a friend replace any of the cups above his or her secret chosen number with the real pills and place the cups in a tall place so you can't look down into them when you...

This one is pretty hard to tell. Ask your barber if it's thinner than the top of your head.

Does MDV3100 (Enzalutamide) activate any ARs as it binds with them like spironolactone does?

I'm resurrecting this thread from the dead because it's been 5 years and I'm curios what the best topical antiadrogens are today. I read that flutamide doesn't change into it's final form until it's digested. I don't want spironolactone because I read it activates many follicles as it binds with...

How do I get this? I've been seriously considering topical flutamide to go along with my finasteride and rogaine.

This was when I was still learning a lot. I now believe that the reasons I liked the skull growth theory are no longer valid because there is "catch up" hair loss after you stop taking finasteride. The underlying abnormality has to be present before the increase in DHT from puberty. If you read...

Thank you! I just want to know what is causing it so I can pick the best treatments and know where to look for future treatments. Hopefully humanity can find a treatment that works 100% within the 5 years before I lose too much hair. haha From the study I took away some interesting things: We...

From https://perfecthairhealth.com/the-case-against-a-hair-transplant/ Is It True That Transplanted Hairs Never Thin? Contrary to popular belief – healthy hair follicles transplanted into thinning or balding regions can eventually thin too. This is known as “Donor Dominance” – the observation...

How do you know they don't fall out after a decade? The longest studies have been are 3 years. Also, the difference between balding and non-balding men isn't in the amount of DHT in a body, but rather the amount of activated androgen receptors in the hair. DHT is only necessary for hair loss...

If you go on Minoxidil you immediately lose hair. Is that because the androgen receptors bind with the DHT while you're using it and that Minoxidil just keeps them zombies or after you stop, they immediate bind because Minoxidil increased their androgen receptors? Why don't all the hairs come...

I said a one time effect because I assumed transplanted hairs were permanent. But if it is true that transplanted hairs fall out after a decade, then it probably isn't a pre-existing condition in the follicle. It has to be a pre-existing condition of the scalp that causes a build up in the hair...

I think the opposite is more likely to happen. When boys were castrated before puberty, they grew taller than average because testosterone helps fuse the growth plates that allows you to continue to grow. Growth plates fuse with you stop growing. Perhaps you can check with a specialist doctor...

Somehow the trait survived all this time which means it wasn't selected against. Perhaps because women didn't care that much in pre-Tinder generations. The gene probably had a beneficial roll in our evolutionary history (perhaps in our chimp-like ancestors) for two reasons: it's a very specific...

Could be, but the pattern is too ornate for it not to have been selected for. Maybe the pattern is a vestige of our chimp like ancestors.
