The first year of hair loss treatment: what the product information actually says
Twelve months of treatment produces a change smaller than the difference between two bathroom mirror photos. That is the whole problem with judging it by eye.
Combining hair loss treatments: what the licensed evidence actually covers
The pairing marketed everywhere as the gold standard is described by the UK product information in four words: no data are available.
Prostate symptoms and sex: what the treatments actually do
Two classes of prostate medicine, two completely different sexual effects, and a striking number of men who were never told about either.
Male fertility and sperm health: what the numbers mean and what changes them
A semen analysis is not a pass or a fail, the reference values changed and most of the internet hasn’t noticed, and nothing you do today shows up for three months.

The evidence that early hair loss hurts more is better than the evidence for most things sold to fix it. That is worth taking seriously in both directions.
Topical finasteride: what is actually available in the UK, and what gets absorbed
Marketed as the version without systemic effects. The phase III data show serum DHT falling by about a third, which is not nothing, and the pharmacovigilance data agree.
Dutasteride for hair loss: the licensing position, the evidence and the half-life problem

Finasteride side effects: the trial numbers, the UK warnings and what changed in 2026

Male pattern baldness: why it happens and what changes the course of it
It isn’t hair falling out so much as hair getting smaller each cycle. That distinction is why timing matters so much.
