Yeah. The best part of waking up is having Folgers ground into the back of your head. Does have a certain ring to it, but no, it's not coffee, but cream, a caffeine cream. Okay. Other new treatments include platelet-rich plasma in which a person's own blood cells are injected into their scalp.

Yeah. Okay. So here we go with the stuff with side effects. The active ingredient in Rogaine is minoxidil. Minoxidil was developed to treat hypertension. Actually, it was developed to cure ulcers, but it didn't work for that. But it did lower blood pressure, so it was approved for blood pressure. But it ended up growing hair on people's heads, so they just switched it to that.

Yeah, pretty much. Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and everywhere else. As one would expect when taking an ulcer slash hypertension slash hair regrowth slash dessert topping medication, there are side effects like ankle swelling, headaches, and dizziness.

Other side effects include reduction in libido, reductions in overall feelings of well-being, and increases of male breast tissue.

Yeah, it's not always an easy choice. Plus, the hair growth is only effective as long as you're on minoxidil. So it's either take it for life or stop at some point and watch your hair fall back out. So minoxidil might not be for you. There's always finasteride. That's the drug in all the other big brands like Propecia. I have heard of that one.

The history of finasteride turns out to be an interesting one as well. It all started with the study of a group of intersex children in the Caribbean who were raised as girls, then at puberty grew external male sex organs.

Okay, that's not quite what I'm telling you. What I am telling you is that these individuals who appear to be female at birth and are raised as girls grow penises at around 12 years of age, and usually they'll switch from identifying as girls to identifying as boys. They're called guevedoses, which in Spanish means penis at 12.

Of course, you're right. And it is super interesting. And it does, by the way, have to do with hair regrowth. incredibly rare everywhere on earth except one small village in the Dominican Republic called Salinas. In Salinas, one out of 90 boys are born with this condition.
