The exact number or statistics on erectile dysfunction (ED) may be of debate since most of these studies are based on self assessment and honestly reporting that they actually have ED. For example, if you wear women’s lingerie, have a small penis, or cheated on your spouse, etc would you honestly answer such personal or […]

We have discussed that Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a known side effect of Propecia (finasteride) and Avodart (dutasteride) in the range of 2% of men taking Propecia (finasteride). The side effect occurs in 1-2% of men. We have also stressed that ED is common in men not taking these drugs. In general ED affects 20% […]
Selegiline and Moclobemide are medications to treat depression and anxiety. I do not have experience in the type of medications that you are using so I really cannot say much about its effect on hair. You must understand the “big picture”. Male pattern hair loss (MPB) is genetic. Medications such as Propecia (finasteride) can help […]
The Internet is a great source of information but it can also be misleading and cause great anxiety when it comes to medical information. Men taking Propecia/ finasteride for androgenic alopecia can still father a baby – no issues. To my knowledge, there have been no reports of abnormal babies with men fathering a child […]
We see a very high suicide rate in the military and in teenagers, young people who have stress that they can’t handle. Most people know of someone or some family member where suicide occurred, a sad statement on how we recognize and manage this problem. In my 20+ years as a hair restoration surgeon, I’ve […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — How dating works when you’re a bald woman This is a great article by Michelle Law as she talks about how life in the dating scene can be a challenge when you’ve got alopecia. Bald women should not be made to feel alienated.
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Men stressed about beer bellies, baldness and moobs The survey revealed that men had the most anxiety about being overweight, followed by yellow teeth, going bald, and growing breasts.
Some men are highly suggestible, so I would not be surprised if you talked yourself into the problem. The power of suggestion is a very real thing. Reading and worrying about the side effects could’ve given you anxiety, which in turn could cause the same problem you’re describing. I am not your doctor, but you […]
Wearing tight caps or having a tight scalp does not speed up or cause male pattern baldness. This is more of an old wives’ tale or urban legend. The only exception is that if you wear your cap so tight that it causes traction hair loss around where the cap is touching your scalp.
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Trichotillomania, Hair-Pulling Disorder, Caused Me To Leave School I’ve embedded the video interview below:
Unfortunately, much of what you said is true. Transplanting hair into an area of active disease will kill the hair grafts. Most doctors will not do a surgery like a hair transplant where the odds are against the success of the procedure. I don’t know the specific statistics for those that have lichen planopilaris, as […]
Results Abstract: This is from a new review of the available data, published in Sexual Medical Reviews, titled “Side Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review“. The report concluded: “5ARIs are associated with slightly increased rates of decreased libido, ED, EjD, gynecomastia, depression, and/or anxiety. Further studies directed at identifying prevalence rates and persistence […]
I watched a TED Talk recently that gave rise to many questions as to the actual percentage of sexual dysfunction/erectile dysfunction attributed to medications for hair regrowth. According to these scientific studies, hyper stimulation brought about by our internet lifestyle and in particular by pornographic images plays a major role in sexual desensitization that profoundly […]
While it is possible that you won’t advance beyond a Norwood class 3 hairline, I don’t trust doctors who give eyeball opinions for predicting hair loss. There are some good tests (miniaturization mapping and better yet, bulk analysis) that will tell you with some certainty if you are balding. The decision to take drugs like […]
I know the anxiety you have. Everyone with a hair transplant wants to accelerate the clock, but it makes no real difference if the transplant is FUE or strip. In either case, you will start seeing the results (at least some results) somewhere between 4-6 months, with good growth by the 8th month. At one […]
