I think that there is no miniaturization in my hair but the hair seems to be sparsely separated. Could that be true?
Amazing results are hard to believe. Hair grows at 1/2 inch/month so to get these results, you would have had to start growing all of the lost hair immediately after going on these medications.
I was 2 months into fin and then got horrible ED and horrible horrible horrible brain fog. I was eating clean, working out, staying fit, and yet the brain fog was horrible. I quit the fin the past month and it finally has gotten a little bit better with a shit ton of adderall. I don’t want to loose my hair but also can’t be brain damaged like I felt when I was on fin. Anyone have any recommendations or other alternatives to fin? I’m 22 btw.
Men like you, at the first sign of problems with finasteride, should get off the drug. Of course, a conversation with your doctor is just as important.
What is bothering me a bit is that too many of the leading edge grafts have more than one hair in them. They should all be single hair grafts to make for a soft hairline. In addition to this, the hairline looks rounded and it should be V-Shaped but the photo is inadequate to really ascertain the entire hairline reconstruction.
Was hooking up with a girl and realized she also had hairloss. I think once you become obsessed with hairloss you notice it so much. Noticed that her hair part was wider and thinner hairs around there. Can totally see more scalp than most women. She is still hot so idc. But my point is once you know about balding you easily notice it. So many people have hairloss.
Yes, that is very true. Ever since I entered this field of Hair Restoration Surgery 30 years ago, I look at other men and women to establish what is normal and what is not normal for hair loss. From all of these observations, I have learned (especially at airports when I see many people walk by and have little else to do) what normal hair loss patterns are found in the general population. From this, I drew interesting conclusions which I speak about at medical meetings as I have identified patterns of loss that are not the patterns confined to the Norwood Classification.
For almost a month now, I’ve been losing more hair during sleeping. Like 10-20 hairs. It’s happening out of a sudden. No changes in my life, diet, sleeping hours and I’m not on min or fin but I’ve been using Nizoral 2% one day a week for more than a year. I am not shedding more in the shower though, the same amount I’ve been seeing when I first discoverd my receded hair line. About 10-15 hairs, then few more hairs when combing. Thankfully no increase shedding in these two activites but it is kind of weird to me. Why am I shedding more only while sleeping? Other weird thing I’ve been noticing, all the sheds on the pillow don’t happen during the entire night, but in like 2-3 hours. Actually this has just happened to me that’s why I’m writing this post. Tonight, I checked the pillow every time I woke up for a piss or just turning to the other side. I swear every time I checked there were 0 hair. The bitch tricked me and really felt happy and confident, then I slept for 2-3 more hours and BAM almost 20 hairs on the pillow!
Seriously, what is happening? Should I be worried or this is normal? I know about the 50-100 hair per day, I don’t believe I’m losing up to 100 hairs but this is new for me.
We notice more hair loss when we brush, wash our hair, rub it against a pillow when we sleep. I believe that hair loss occurs 24/7 but when we are not disturbing the hair, the hairs we lose just hang-in with their brother-en until they can be set free with the actions I described above.
Had gynecomastia removed with surgery at 18. Clearly had/have some messed up hormones. Will that mean im at a higher likely hood of getting it again on fin?
The gynecomastia from adolescence doesn’t make your more sensitive to getting it when you take finasteride than anyone else.
I’m 19 and I’ve been taking 1 mg of fin daily for one week. My libido has dropped and it takes forever to get an erection. I also have slight ball ache, watery semen, and possibly some headaches, but that’s probably just because I haven’t gotten enough sleep this week. I’m not paranoid to be honest. But will these side effects subside eventually? Should I try to ride them out? It’s mainly the low libido that’s worrying me. It’s unfortunate timing since I met a girl I really like recently.
If you have sexual side effect from finasteride and don’t reverse them by reducing the dose, then you should stop the drug. The risks for Post Finasteride Syndrome (if it exists) is high if you continue to take the drug. You should see the doctor who prescribed the drug to you for advice.
There have been 2.4 million prescriptions written for finasteride in 2020. This came from IQVIA reference source
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:
My understanding is that Fin can lower T-Levels, isn’t this kind of counter intuitive if I’m getting T-Shots?
If you’re taking Fin, does it need to be long term or just around 6 months based on results?
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????
