Propecia Has Halted My Hair Loss for 2 Years, so Is it Time to Stop Taking It?
I have been on Propecia now for about 2.5 years (I am 22 now) and I noticed a receding hairline back when I was 18/19, so I decided to act on my hair loss quickly. Ever since being on Propecia I havent noticed any further hair loss. I was wondering is there a time where I should think about stopping Propecia?
I’ve heard that it can affect fertility (I know that you have said that many people do complain and the ones with positive experiences don’t) but I was just
wondering is it safe to continue? should I consider stopping? thank you in advance
These are decisions that you should speak with your doctor about. If you stop it, you will lose all of the hair that benefited from the drug from the day you started to where the progression should have taken you.
There are extensive risks and you should have read all about them from your doctor at the time you started the process. It is uncertain if fertility is one of those risks. For my own son, I have kept him on this drug as it completely stopped and reversed his frontal hair loss.
Go to a proper hair specialist. Between 18 and 22 there’s a very real possibility you just had a maturing hairline and don’t need further propecia use. If you really do have balding its totally worth staying on propecia. It will not affect your fertility. Some men report decreased sex drive during the first 6 months but if you’re libido is fine I wouldn’t worry about it. DHT is not directly related to sperm
Count – trust me I know!
