Non-Hair-Loss News – Man Finds Out He Has Cancer After He Uses a Home Pregnancy Test

Snippet from the non-hair-loss article:

If you are a lady, and you think you might be pregnant, you can take an at-home test to find out. You simply pee on a stick. Whether the results are measured in pink lines, blue lines, plus and minus symbols, or a “pregnant”/”not pregnant” digital readout, all the home pregnancy tests on the market are really looking for the same thing — Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).

HCG is a pregnancy hormone. It’s produced by the placenta, a temporary organ that only forms in female bodies when an embryo has attached to the uterine lining. And so it was kind of weird when a male friend of a Reddit user known as CappnPoopDeck peed on a home pregnancy test and it came back positive.

Wow.

Norwood Class 4 with a routine that the doctor set up for a starter guy!

I am balding for the last few years. I am NW 4 now. Went to the dermatologist today, and the Doc suggested transplant in bald areas + PRP injection with dermroller for receding hair line. I insisted I wanted to start with medication and see how I progress. So the doc prescribed the following, Finasteride 1 mg every night before sleep Biotin every morning Minoxidil gel apply few hrs before sleep in balding areas Ciclopirox 1% shampoo 3 times a week. The prescription is for coming 3 months. Have to visit once a month to see the progress. Doc insisted that the medication must be taken religiously to see the results. What do you think of this prescription?

This is a reasonable plan. This should go a full year to see if there is the full benefits. Then a decision can be make for a next step.

Not Hair Loss News – FDA on Testosterone Supplements

FDA says there is little evidence testosterone treatment works.

The NBC Nightly News (9/3, story 6, 0:30, Williams) reported in its broadcast that the FDA “says there’s little evidence that testosterone boosting drugs taken by millions of American men are actually effective.” NBC notes that the agency also pointed out that it’s not convinced they carry serious risk either. “The condition has been marketed as low ‘T’ and the medications are offered to help with low sex drive and fatigue among some men,” notes NBC.

The FDA’s comments come ahead of a public meeting “to discuss the benefits and risks of treatments that raise levels of the male hormone” on Sept. 17, according to the AP (9/4, Perrone). The meeting comes after two federally funded studies “found links between testosterone therapy and heart problems in men.” The AP also testosterone boosting treatments have come under the spotlight “amid an industry marketing blitz for new pills, patches and formulations that has transformed testosterone a multibillion-dollar market.”

Not Hair Loss News – Walnuts Appear to Improve Semen Quality

Snippet from the article:

Healthy young men with a Western-style diet may be able to boost their sperm quality by eating a small packet of walnuts a day.

These are the findings of a new study that shows healthy American men in their 20s and 30s who ate a 75g (2.5 ozs) packet of walnuts a day were able to increase the vitality, motility and structure of their sperm compared to counterparts who did not eat walnuts.

A report on the study appeared online on 15 August in the Biology of Reproduction journal’s papers-in-press section.

Infertility and subfertility is a common problem that affects about 70 million couples worldwide. Between a third and a half of cases are due to poor semen quality in the male partner, with scientists giving a number of reasons for this in industrialized societies: pollution, unhealthy lifestyles and the Western-style diet cited amongst them.

The study included 117 men (between 21 to 35 years old) and was partially funded by the California Walnut Commission.

Can’t Take Finasteride, But Is a Hair Transplant Still an Option?

Dr Rassman,
If one has been evaluated by a urologist and undergone a variety of tests for problems and finasteride has been single out as the cause. Can one still undergo restoration work? Or should one simply forget it?

You are asking for a medical opinion without my ability to find out details about you, something that I do when I perform a consultation. Things like family history, age, miniaturization (where it is and how advanced it is) will tell me much. One can have a hair transplant without taking Propecia. I do this in older men and in men who I can predict what will happen to them over time. Everyone is different. My job is to protect you from over-enthusiasm, bring you down to reality, and then try to accomplish your goals (which may or may not be a hair transplant).

A novel and safe small molecule enhances hair follicle regeneration by facilitating metabolic reprogramming

This article “reports the hair regrowth-promoting effect of a newly synthesized novel small molecule, IM176OUT05 (IM), which activates stem cell metabolism. IM facilitated stemness induction and maintenance during an induced pluripotent stem cell generation process.” This article appears in the most prestigious journal in the science field so I guess it has merit to it.

More and more research is coming forward which makes this field more exciting almost every day

Celebrities w/ SMP

A couple of guys whom I am 100% certain have gotten SMP, stand-up comedians Finesse Mitchell and Paul Virzi. Both of whom I’ve seen live and (because I have SMP and know what to look for) the stage lights immediately gave it away. I bring this up because these guys both have an online presence where you can look them up and see their before and afters. Virzi looks like he’s gotten his done in the last 6-12 months. Both of their results look great in my opinion, and Virzi in particular looks so much younger (he also appears to have lost some weight) — he looks great.

We do these all of the time, see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/
