Finasteride blocks DHT from acting upon the receptors to about the 80% level. Eventually, the hair loss will continue to progress, but from a better, hairier level, and even with the progression of the hair loss, some impact of finasteride will persist because many of the DHT receptors still remain blocked. Nothing in this world […]

Do whatever you want to do, just do the dyes with standard approved chemicals and preferably by a professional that know what they are doing. Go ahead and bleach your hair. That is a styling issue not a health one.
I’ve discussed possible side effects of Propecia many times before. Always discuss your concerns with your prescribing doctor, as an open line of communication will usually result in the best solutions. Propecia can reduce the size of the ejaculant in some men. The potency of the sperm remains good so the smaller ejaculant does not […]
Propecia will often slow or stop the hair loss in weeks, so this is not an unusual observation. The 8-18 month time-frame is reflecting new hair growth or benefits upon decreasing miniaturization in the hair shafts, which will increase the general fullness that you will see with the naked eye.
First, as a healthy 19 year old, I am surprised you have an endocrinologist. Second, if you are of middle-eastern descent who typically have a very low frontal hair line, your frontal hair loss may be a part of juvenile hair loss which is not considered a male pattern hair loss. Perhaps this is why […]
Reading the horror stories are part of good research. They are the exception to the general work being done now, though. A good doctor is your assurance that these terrible things will not happen to you, but unfortunately there are still some of those doctors out there today. As I like to tell my patients, […]
Many of your complaints may not be related to Propecia. Ejaculation volumes are often decreased on Propecia. I have had one other patient report weight gain. You could decrease the dosage (rather than go off the medication entirely), and see if that reduces your joint pain. Discuss this with your prescribing doctor. At 22, have […]
There is no point to blindly commit yourself to a lifetime of drug without a diagnosis. Be smart and get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to find out what is really happening. Many 19 year olds are developing a maturing hairline, not balding. Get a good doctor to tell you what is happening to […]
Finasteride may be working by preventing hair loss progression, but just not growing new hair. I gather that the dutasteride has reduced your libido, which is not a surprise at all. Folligen spray contains copper peptides which have had some unsubstantialed scientific claims for hair re-growth. I am happy to hear of your positive response […]
The basic grounds for a successful lawsuit against a doctor must show: Damage as a result of the doctors action (inaction is much more difficult and in your case in particular it would be an uphill battle) Not meeting the standard of care (it might be successfully argued that the experience in genetic hair loss […]
Propecia will continue to work for as long as you take it. There is no guarantee that it will override the progressive nature of hair loss completely, but it will continue to help as long as you take it. If works better on some people than others, that is just the way it is. We […]
Any doctor can prescribe Propecia. This drug, I am certain, can slow down hair loss in the frontal areas. The focus on the crown benefits by the manufacturer relates to the studies that were done during the clinical trials. I have had many patients tell me that the hair loss in the front has decreased […]
What is known about finasteride is that if a baby in the womb is exposed to this drug (dosage is not understood) that the development of their sex organs and possibly the way their brain is wired (female vs male) may be influenced. Genital abnormalities can be created by the influence of this drug in […]
Nourkrin is as you described here, but I know almost nothing about these ingredients. I did some Google searching for it and came up with page after page of sites selling it, but nobody discussing it. Maybe you’ll have better luck in your own search, but I came up empty. Nothing else I can really […]
To my knowledge, finasteride (Propecia) does not have any adverse effects on the liver. Your liver enzyme values seem within normal limits and it can vary day to day and month to month and also by different lab techniques. It can also be affected by strenuous exercise like weight lifting and drinking alcohol. Fatty liver […]
