Finasteride treats hair loss by blocking DHT, a hormone linked to balding. Available in oral (FDA-approved) and topical forms, it effectively promotes hair growth. While oral finasteride may cause systemic side effects, topical versions show promise with fewer risks. Both require prescriptions and work best with consistent, long-term use.
Despite long-standing myths, masturbation does not cause hair loss. Scientific studies confirm there is no link between masturbation and hormonal or protein changes significant enough to impact hair growth. Hair loss is more commonly linked to genetics, hormones, stress, and medical conditions.
Some medications can unexpectedly trigger hair loss, from antibiotics and antidepressants to birth control and skin treatments. While the symptoms are usually temporary, recognizing drug-induced hair loss early can help you act fast. Talk to your doctor about switching medications or exploring treatment options.
Temple hair loss can be one of the earliest signs of androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. Identifying this symptom early allows for better treatment options. From minoxidil to low-level laser therapy, understanding your options is key to managing and slowing down hair loss progression.
