The recovery section may look small, but remember. The number of people hit with this is astronomically small. That's why despite everything, if someone said they wanted to take something to stop hair growth I'd say go with it. Let me take something like dutasteride (the most powerful AR inhibitor) for instance. There are around 1 million prescriptions for the drug in a year in the US (i.e. 1 million individual chances of getting adverse effects) and only 48 accounts which claim to have crashed on dutasteride on PH. That's 0.0048% chance of getting hit by sides, and that's just in the US! (the overall percentage must be lower still)
With that in mind, it has to be understood that the majority of people (let's say 85%) , for whatever reasons, can't be bothered to undergo this, so they flake, fall off or manage their side effects all the while banking on a future cure. As you can see then, the recovery section is small because a. The potential sample size is minuscule, and b. The amount of people willing to undergo this is even more atomically small.
