Can Someone Control DHT?

HI DR. RASSMAN, I have a question for you…. you say propecia slows the hairloss, but mphl still progresses. I would like to know why the radio show host Spencer Kobren (The Bald Truth) has been able to stop his hair loss for 11 yrs now. Is he from another planet, or someone very special because he say that DHT is scared of him???? I mean you say the studies on merck site show hairloss continues even on the drug but yet I know Spencer has stop his hairloss. I think you might be reading that propecia curve wrong. I believe that when you start taking propecia you ” SHOCK THE SYSTEM” and you hairs go into a angen phase so appears like more hair is growing in the first 2 yrs but are hair does not stay in that phase forever . The hair on our head is not all in sync at the same time. I would also like to point out that the graph shows hair that was grow from vellus hair and does not count the hair that was maintain.. like the the terminal hair. That means at 5 yrs you will have 277 more hairs then when you started but what about all the hair you maintained. There is a difference between maintenance and the growing of lost hair. He has kept his so I think that proves his point, don’t you? DO I make sense..

What you’re saying is speculation based upon little fact. You are confusing things like vellus hair and miniaturized hair. The vellus hair is in each follicular unit (with or without balding present) and miniaturized hair is hair that is impacted by the genetic balding process. All hair goes into anogen, the longest part of its growing cycle and it may last years. You are implying that vellus hairs grow into normal hair on Propcia, but that is not a fact that I am aware of. One can not put all of the pieces together the way you did. The fact that Spencer did not lose his hair may have been in his genetic cards, and certainly not because he “scared” his DHT away. I would not say that former President Bill Clinton “mastered” keeping his hair or that he “frightened” his DHT, even with the Pentagon behind him. Sorry, but I have little to add.

No More Morning Erections After Taking Propecia for a Month

I’ve been on Propecia for just over a month, and I realized I don’t get morning erections anymore. (I know for a fact I got them before) Is this something to worry about?

I’m only 21 and any change in sexual function for me is something I want to pay close attention to. Do you think this is just my body trying to adjust to the drug?

Sexual function has a very complicated mechanism and several factors are involved. The most important factor is usually stress that often could be seen with acceleration of hair loss. One way that you can see if your sexual function changes are due to the new medication is to stop it and monitor the changes. Are you having difficulty maintaining and getting an erection?

Can Topical Acne Cream Cause Hair Loss?

Can Tetracycline and or Tazoric/Differin facial cream (for acne) cause hair loss? I am a 21 year old male and I have been losing hair quite rapidly, got tested for thyroid disease and low iron and my tests came out fine. I was wondering if these medications are used long term (2-3 years or longer) can they cause hair loss? There are people in my family with MPB but they all started baldling later in life (40s or later). Thank you so much for your time doctor! Hope to hear from you soon.

While hair loss is not listed as a side effect on the documentation for tetracycline, Tazorac (tazarotene), or Differin (adapalene), there are some unconfirmed reports about hair loss and Differin that I found on a message board. Take this for what you will. Once again, these are unconfirmed reports.

The most common cause of hair loss in males is genetic hair loss. If you are concerned about genetic hair loss, you need to see a doctor who can examine your hair under a microscope (miniaturization study) and assess the pattern at which you are losing your hair. There are medical and/or surgical options.

Normal shed

How many amounts of hair is considered a shed? I have been on finasteride for 2 years, I had some shed in the couple of first months but not ever since. I had 0 hairs, when I brushed my hands through my hair after shower. I noticed in the couple last weeks, that I am getting around 10-30 hairs when running my hands through my hair

Normal shedding is about 100 hairs per day. Multiply that out for 3 years and you will understand the turnover of the average persons hair as the typical anagen cycle would be 3 years. For shorter anagen cycles, the shed will be greater. Some younger women will have significantly less shed if their anagen cycle is longer like 4-5 years.

Not Hair Loss News – Cancer Death Rates Are Declining in the US

Snippet from the article:

Cancer death rates continue to decline in the United States for both men and women. Experts say the four major cancers, lung, colorectal, breast and prostate, account for more than two-thirds of the decline.

In 2001, a routine PSA blood test helped John Nemeth, 77, of Glendora detect prostate cancer at a very early stage. Twelve years later, the cancer is gone after undergoing a minimally invasive treatment.

According to 2013 National Report Card on Cancer, success stories like Nemeth’s are on the rise. Deaths from the top four cancer killers are dropping.

From 2001 to 2010, lung cancer deaths dropped 29 percent, a faster rate than in previous years.

Not Hair Loss News – Can You Knock Some Brains Into Yourself?

In an issue of Scientific American, a young 10 year-old boy was knocked unconscious one day by a baseball. After the accident, he could recall the “exact day of the week for any date after the accident and could remember the weather for each day since the trauma”… along with “minute daily events”. Another example of a victim of a brutal mugging in 2002. He began seeing images and was able to sketch them on paper. His images reflected ‘fractals‘ a mathematical repeating pattern. This is called an “acquired savant Syndrome”, a near genius level of brain function that appeared after the injury. This syndrome can appear after a blow to the head or some brain insult.

Many of the affected people can develop the ability to create poetry, paint or play a musical instrument where there was never a talent for this before. Some researchers and experts in the field think that there is a ‘genius’ switch in the brain and are looking for ways to be able to turn it on. I want to volunteer for this type of experimentation. I wish I could knock this type of ‘brains’ into the crazy people in this world who just don’t get the basic value of life and would rather make war than appreciate all of the beauty on this planet for the short time we will be here.

Not Hair Loss News – Men with Blood Type O Have a Low Chance of Prostate Cancer Recurring

Snippet from the article:

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and in 2010, it was responsible for over 28,000 deaths in the US. Now, a new study presented at the European Association of Urology congress in Sweden suggests men with blood type O have a significantly lower chance of the cancer recurring.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prostate cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer among white, African American, American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic men.

Read the rest — Men with blood type O have lower recurrence of prostate cancer

Tokyo Medical University’s Dr. Yoshio Ohno and his colleagues studied 555 prostate cancer patients that had a radical prostatectomy.

The article goes on to say, “After following the patients for an average of 52 months, Dr. Ohno and his team found that patients with blood group O were 35% less likely to have prostate cancer recurrence, compared with patients with blood group A.”

This is a good pick-up. Most of us know our blood type, so this might be some good reassurance for those with type O blood.
