Sexual dysfunction prevalence vary widely, but is much higher in the general population than most people are willing to accept. Causes include: smoking sedentary lifestyle, poor general health, endocrine, cardiac, circulatory, structural, psychological, social, marital and other idiopathic causes. Because of this complexity it is difficult to make the correct diagnosis as to its cause, […]

Nothing has changed in recent times. For clarification, Propecia is a brand name of a generic drug named finasteride in 1mg strength. Proscar is also a brand name of a generic drug named finasteride but in 5mg strength. Avodart is a brand name of a generic drug named dutasteride in 0.5mg strength. Propecia is the […]
I have seen some men report an increased sex drive on Propecia although this is not common. Yes, once a man is freed from the burden of balding, they may be better on their sex side of life. Self confidence is necessary in good sexual performance.
A half a dose will work about 80% as well as a full dose. I would try one more time at the full dose but if the pain comes back, stick to the half dose. Have a doctor check out your chest and shoulder pain.
I doubt that there is any connection unless your protein shake has steroids in it.
This type of result seems like it might be too quick after just taking Propecia for 3 months, but I suppose it’s possible that you had a really great response, which we have seen in some men from time to time. It usually takes a few more months for most men to notice that much […]
There was a study conducted at an infertility clinic (on men with severely low sperm counts to begin with) that I think you’re referencing — Study – Sperm Count and Finasteride. As it seems that you’ve had a sperm count done, I would expect that an improvement in sperm count should occur within a month […]
Generic Propecia (finasteride 1mg) has been available here for about a year and a half, though it was exclusively made by Dr Reddy’s until around mid-2013. There’s a list of Propecia manufacturers at Drugs.com that have FDA approval, and while some of them might be US-based, I’m not sure if the medication is manufactured in […]
Thanks for sharing your story. Body hair growth in men is stimulated by DHT, and since finasteride inhibits DHT, reports of body hair loss after taking finasteride are not unusual. Having less leg hair is nothing you should be concerned about, unless of course you really want that hairy leg look. Slightly elevated serum estradiol […]
It really doesn’t have to be that complicated. Most men show signs of thinning in a specific pattern by the time they are in the mid 20’s to 30’s. Taking Propecia would not affect it too much if you pay close attention and have good miniaturization measurements and bulk measurements. Remember, Propecia does NOT completely […]
You do not develop a resistance to Propecia. It is always better to take it earlier on in the hair loss process, but it is never too late. I can’t say for sure how helpful Propecia will be, but hopefully you’ll see some benefits if you stick with the medication this time. As you are […]
Yes, you should have him visit a doctor who uses the HairCheck device, which is a bulk measurement tool for the hair. I believe that this is important, because it tells us where he started from, then in a year when the measurement is repeated it will tell us where he is going with his […]
Propecia (finasteride) is not something you take to prevent balding when you don’t have a diagnosis of androgenic alopecia. You don’t use an antibiotic when you are healthy to prevent getting an infection. You don’t take blood pressure lowering medication to prevent high blood pressure that you don’t have. This is one of the many […]
Many men don’t want to be balding, but genetic hair loss can happen as early as 16 years old. Propecia (finasteride) is a treatment for genetic hair loss in men, but it is by no means a cure (there is no cure). It is a prescription medication, so you must see a doctor to find […]
When the Propecia (finasteride) studies were performed that eventually led to the medication’s FDA approval, various doses were tried. The 1mg dose gave the most consistent results for treating hair loss. Above the 1mg daily dose, the results were no better than the 1mg daily dose; however, below the 1mg dose, it was found to […]
