If you didn’t have side effects before, I wouldn’t expect they would appear upon restarting the medication, but I can’t know that for sure. I do believe that much of the panicking posts online are from people that have concluded on their own that Propecia is the cause for most of their problems (real or […]
You need to see a medical doctor and have a physical exam. Many men in their 40s or even 30s have erectile dysfunction (ED) without ever taking Propecia. It’s just that they do not openly talk about it. You might also have undiagnosed medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, etc) that can […]
I completely agree. We need to have a statistically valid audience for a good prospective summary. Unfortunately, that type of study will take years to obtain and someone has to pay for it.
Smoking may be deleterious to graft growth and your health, so I would always advise against it. Finasteride (Propecia) is a lifelong medication and generally people start taking it before the surgery as recommended by their doctors. The need for Propecia reflects your risk for accelerated balding. This is a judgment call based upon the […]
This is not a simple answer for a blog post. I will give a cursory answer to it nonetheless in the hope that what I have to say will help someone and possibly could even save a life. Apologies to those that come here for hair related posts, but this isn’t one of them. Putting […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Study: Illegal Drug Use Cost US Economy More Than $193 Billion In 2007 Although this is not about hair, this is a very important study that shows us what almost every American knows. I have posted it here because I have a large audience and this is […]
There’s really no reason for your hair loss to continue because of your quitting smoking. To suggest that smoking cigarettes kept your hair loss at bay doesn’t make any sense. If you’re experiencing accelerated loss, I’d expect it to be likely just a coincidence to when you stopped smoking. Were the older minoxidil and new […]
Snippet from the article: Photo source Read the full story at DailyMail UK — The secret compulsion that’s as disturbing as any eating disorder Trichotillomania is an obsessive compulsive disorder, and the article delves into looks at what triggers the desire to pull out your hair and how to possibly treat it. There’s no single […]
Most doctors are trained to treat medical issues and bill the insurance company to make their living. It seems that hair loss is generally not a priority from a purely medical perspective. My cynicism aside, there really is no definitive cure for hair loss in women, but you need a diagnosis by a doctor who […]
Snippet from the press release: Read the full text: Smokers With Common Autoimmune Disorder At Higher Risk For Skin Damage The information comes from a study published in the Journal of Rheumatology, and “has clearly linked skin damage and rashes to smoking in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).” The great majority of those with […]
I haven’t seen the actual study that is referenced, but assuming this is true, it speaks for itself. Thanks for sending.
You just answered your own question, as you show clearly a relationship between your smoking and your symptoms. What can I add in the face of such a clear association? Scalp burning isn’t necessarily a sign of hair loss, but if you’re seeing your hair fall out while you feel this sensation, it might be […]
Dandruff is not a forerunner of thinning or hair loss or baldness. Dandruff just means you have a dry, flaky scalp. There are plenty of old advertisements that show doctors recommending cigarettes, too. Medicine and science have come a long way… not to mention the laws that are in place to protect consumers from fraudulent […]
I can’t really comment on a specific fat burner as the cause your hair loss. Many medications report hair loss as a side effect, so even this ‘substance’ may have similar side effects. If you have hair loss it is most likely related to genetic male pattern baldness (MPB), otherwise known as androgenic alopecia (AGA)… […]
