I Don’t Want to Pester My Doctor, But I Have Questions

I am currently 25 and have noticed severe balding in the temple region for the last 6 months and minor balding on the crown. I have always been paranoid of going bald one day, and now it seems the reality is here. I have seen 2 doctors concerning transplants and the 2nd, who I felt comfortable with developed a master plan and I started propecia about a month ago. He did not recommend surgery but rather wait until November and come back to see him. It has reached the point today of not being able to wait another 4 months. My temple region is fading at lighting speed. Do you suggest on waiting the propecia out? I do not want to pester the doctor who I could potentially have surgery with.

Follow the doctor’s opinion you trust. Waiting out the impact of Propecia for 8 months is always a good idea. At your age, Propecia will reverse the crown loss most of the time, so why rush to surgery when the drug is probably the best of all solutions? Have an open line of communication with your physician — it always works out best that way. Look, I am not your doctor but do not have a problem answering your questions.
