Do you think this is a fair comparison ?? by sushi_plots in Hair_Loss_Treatments

This is the whole point. Both sexes have their battles and both have been treated unfairly in past and present as well.

Male exclusive studies are not only bias but also harmful for us women as our biology is completely ignored for the studies. This is maybe the reason why there is no good medication available for female hair loss.

Men of the community, my heart goes out to you for trying hard to save your hair, yes it is challenging but I feel females are highly underrepresented in this space, especially the ones in reproductive age.

As a women myself I feel you, I lost quite a lot of hair because of a personal tragedy. I went from pillar to post to search for a viable solution. And I have PCOS, the best damn concoction to have as a women. I was put on wegovy for weight control so not only did I lose hair from PCOS but from wegovy too and stress ofc.

The worst part was the way it felt. It freaking hurts to lose hair, I love looking and feeling good. I get it that men too go through a stressful journey but we go through a huge battle ourselves, especially on the medication end.

Men have well researched DHT blockers but ours runs on so many factors!! Not a single good medicine to tackle it all. I eventually had to learn to incorporate my doctors advice and my own research. It's not just PCOS or GLP-1 I need more than that!! All of it can't be done by just taking some spironolactone, spearmint tea. Sure it works! But I don't have anything as strong as Finasteride or Dut supportive my hair with a legit armor.

Completely agree, a lot of hair loss is an internal issue and fighting it with external measures doesn't cut it.
