This young man is enrolled in University of California in San Diego and has a career in Physics in front of him. He is very bright and he is balding already, now only in the crown, but he has early thinning evident in the frontal corners which may follow his father’s pattern of a Class […]
Always follow up with your doctor and address the issues that concerns you. The Internet is not the source for medical assurance or self treatment. Taking finasteride from my knowledge should not be an issue when you have oral sex with your partner even if she is pregnant. If you are still worried, you can […]
There is no shedding of hair associated with Propecia. There is however, natural genetic hair loss that still persist even while taking Propecia. In other words, Propecia does not completely stop hair loss. Propecia does not cause more hair loss. Internet forums are a collection of opinions from its members. It does not necessarily mean […]
If you look at the Propecia chart, you will see that your experience is in accordance with most men. Your doctor who prescribed you the medication should have explained this to you as well. It isn’t that the drug stopped working but rather your genetic predisposition is catching up. Propecia is still likely working in […]
You ask an interesting question. The simple answer is that there is no right answer. What medication you choose (Propecia vs Rogaine) is up to the individual and its results may not be a significant issue because the two medication work in different ways (different mechanism of action). The hairs you gained from Rogain may […]
It just shows that Internet can be a great source of information as well as mis-information. Thus I advocate seeing a doctor face to face to ask your medical questions.

There have been questions raised on the relationship between low sperm counts or fertility issues and the use of Propecia (finasteride 1mg). While there is no clear evidence that there is a direct relationship, there are reports you may find on the Internet that may justify such concern. The best advice is to speak with […]
I am not the one to break the tie between the two doctors who have different opinions on Propecia and its side effects and how it relates to your issues. I do know that Propecia can cause sexual side effects in 1 to 2% of the men. I also know men in their 30’s can […]
If you believe you are having negative side effects, why would you want to continue the medication? The correct action is speaking to you doctor about this. Anything is possible but it seems improbable. Gynecomastia from Propecia use takes several week if not months of use. Finally a Norwood 2 is not generally considered balding […]
Genetic drugs are same as brand name drugs in its efficacy. The difference is the price and the shape or color of the pill and its packaging. Even the 5mg version which you cut in 1/4s will give you the same results. The 5mg version costs about $6 a month and I believe that Costco […]

Let’s be reasonable here. You know better than to ask personal health and medication questions on the Internet. You really need to see your doctor for these issues. I am not your doctor and cannot give you medical advice. Baldingblog is a not a place to check for medication interactions. Beta-sitosterol is a substance found […]
Most of the studies on 1-2% sexual dysfunction is derived from the Prosar (finasteride 5mg dose). Taking a smaller dose should give you less side effect but the reported side effect is still around 1-2%. This is taken directly from the MERCK website Propecia insert: “In three controlled clinical trials for PROPECIA of 12-month duration, […]
