Hair clinic or telemedicine: what changes in diagnosis, follow-up and price
For typical androgenetic alopecia, remote hair consultations get the diagnosis right in the vast majority of cases. Types of hair loss that need trichoscopy still call for an in-person appointment. We look at what the studies say about diagnosis, why follow-up timelines are the same in both settings and what can honestly be said about price.

Which blood tests do you need before testosterone is prescribed in Spain?
One low result is not enough to justify a testosterone prescription. Guidelines require morning, fasting total testosterone, repeated on different days, plus symptoms that fit and a safety check that includes PSA and haematocrit.

Insulin resistance: symptoms, diagnosis and what is known to reverse it
Insulin resistance is the central mechanism behind disorders of glucose metabolism, yet it has no standard diagnostic test and no validated list of symptoms. What has been measured is what happens when weight comes off: in DiRECT, 46% of participants with type 2 diabetes achieved remission at one year, rising to 86% among those who lost 15 kg or more.

Finasteride price in Spain: the real monthly cost, branded and generic
In Spain, finasteride 1 mg for hair loss is prescription-only, and you should not assume it is funded by the National Health System. There is no verified official retail price (PVP) in the facts available, so the real cost is easier to understand by pack size and how long each pack lasts. At 1 mg a day, a 28-tablet pack lasts just under a month and a 98-tablet pack lasts just over three months.

Mounjaro can start to show weight loss within the first few weeks, but the first month usually coincides with the 2.5 mg starting dose and is a long way from the final result. Trials and clinical practice point to a gradual trajectory: early changes, further loss at 3 and 6 months and a greater average as you approach the one-year mark, with considerable variation from person to person.

Androgenetic alopecia in women: why it is different and what options exist in Spain
Female pattern hair loss is not a milder version of male baldness: it looks different, it is rarely explained by hormones alone and other causes have to be ruled out first. We go through what the evidence says about each treatment and where each one really stands in Spain.

Low testosterone after a steroid cycle: what to do and when to see a doctor
