I’ve been having to get some Testosterone injections for the past couple months due to low testosterone levels. I’ve been give a prescription for Finasteride to assist with some major hair loss. I had a couple questions:

1. My understanding is that Fin can lower T-Levels, isn’t this kind of counter intuitive if I’m getting T-Shots?

2. If you’re taking Fin, does it need to be long term or just around 6 months based on results?

3. The side effects of Finasteride seem pretty scary, any thoughts on that?

Although finasteride blocks the DHT it is not a complete blockage. By adding testosterone to your system, you will increase your DHT levels as DHT is a breakdown product of testosterone and therefore increase your hair loss.

If the larger eyebrow is too large and the other it just right, then you can pluck hair from the larger eyebrow. Continuously plucking hair will eventually cause the hair to stop growing. If you like the larger eyebrow, you can transplant the smaller one to match the larger one.

I been rubbing Pepsi in my hair for 1 year now after finding about it online, and so far no results? What is wrong?

It tells you Pepsi doesn’t work to grow hair. Pepsi may be good for your thirst, but hair????

This is a terrible complication of a hair transplant. Considering my clinic has performed over 16,000 surgeries in 30 years and never saw this complication, what did the surgical team do wrong.  Maybe it was caused by too much epinephrine in the anesthetic or tumesence, too large a tool for site making, other causes?

I believe that this is the first time I have seen a reversal of a mature hairline in the direction of a juvenile hairline.

Everyone has there opinions. I ran my own tests and it showed my Vit D was low. My testosterone was in the 300. Down from 700 from in 5 years. My TSH was elevated to 5.5. My HgbA1C was high and cholesterol high which led to chest pains. All issues with hypothyroid. Turns out I had Hashimotos. Started on Levothyroxine. All problems are somewhat resolving. Nocturnal erections are returning again. This doesn’t run in my family. I believe propecia definitely affected me for the better. The medication was made to block testosterone conversion. It does it extremely well and then people will say there’s no connection. There is definitely a connection.

I believe that millions of men stayed on finasteride when their partners became pregnant. Most of them had no problems. I am assuming this because if they had children with ambiguous genetalia, the courts would be full of law suits against Merck.
